Hello and Welcome to the forums!
My name is Gringo and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.
Somethings to remember while we are working together.
If you follow these instructions, everything should go smoothly.
The author of Combofix states very firmly in the Disclaimer that this tool is meant for private use and should never be used in an unsupervised environment. From the author:
I would like to get a better look at your system, please do the following so I can get some more detailed logs.
DeFogger:
Download DDS:
Gmer
Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here.
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries
Note: Do not run any programs while Gmer is running.
information and logs:

Why we don't ask you to run ComboFix from the onset
As stated by the author of ComboFix:
ComboFix is a very powerful tool which when improperly used may render your machine to a doorstop.
We first need to verify if there's any rootkits present and how they could affect our tools. DDS & GMER are preliminary scans. We use their logs to map our strategy for attack.
With these logs we can determine the infections present & decide whether to deploy ComboFix.
