When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

No I have not tried this. So I will try it now. It will take some time to work through it as I will download the program needed to a cd and try to install it onto the infected computer.

Thank you for your very quick reply and I will be back in touch shortly.

That did it. Thank you so much. I have a meeting in about 6 hours and I really needed this up and running. Thanks again, those instructions worked perfectly.
