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.

Hi Broni!

I thought that it would be in my best interest if I actually format my computer back-to zero. But I have a question here, I'd like to retain some of my personal stuff, movies, pictures, documents and what not, is there a chance that the virus/malware will persist through these items and infect my new system?

You surely can save those items, but make sure you scan them with an AV program before putting them back on fresh Windows installation.
