Be sure there is a space between combofix and /u

Yes I am doing it with the space but still getting the same message,

No problem, we can use another method. it involves a few more steps but they are quick and it is important to do them.

Download OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!> and place it on your desktop. (unless you already have it)

1. Double click OTMoveIt2.exe to launch it.
Vista users right click and choose Run As Administrator.
2. Click on the CleanUp! button.
3. OTMoveIt2 will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programs alerts you, allow it access.
4. Click YES at the next prompt (list downloaded, Do you want to begin cleanup process?)

• When finished exit out of OTMoveIt2

Clear your infected system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:

• Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
• Select Create a restore point, and click Next.
• Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
• Select the More options tab
• Next to System Restore click Clean up...

This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

after i ran this the system is asking me to reboot should i reboot now and continue the rest of the steps after wards?

[evilfantasy]

Yes, that would be best to ensure there are no conflicts.

[slu]

Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
Select Create a restore point, and click Next.
Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
Select the More options tab
Next to System Restore click Clean up...


As per the above instructions; do i need to specify a restore or should i leave it empty and go to the next step "Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr "

Where can i find the "option tab"

[evilfantasy]

You can name it anything, something like todays date.

Is there not a More Options tab?

[evilfantasy]

If you have XP Home you will need to do this.

2. Restart your computer

3. Turn ON System Restore

• On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.

Thank you very much i have performed the last 2 instructions successfully, i will be doing a complete scan of my system with my antivirus "bitdefender" and i will let you know the outcome, thank you thus far for your guidance.

[evilfantasy]

OK, if BitDefender finds anything it can't remove, get the whole file path if you can and post it here.

[slu]

Thanks I did a complete scan with BD total security found nothing, thanks again for your guidance...

[evilfantasy]
