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.

I successfully cleaned my computer of System Fix virus using Kaspersky, Super Antispyware, and Malwarebytes. My files and folders remain hidden. I have tried Unhide.exe several times and have had no luck. Any ideas?
