Let's see if we can't remove it. First you need to re-download it. Please download ComboFix to your desktop. Make sure it is on your desktop. Now: Press and hold the Windows key and then press the letter R on your keyboard.
This opens the Run dialog box. Ok, but ComboFix is attempting to run without being asked and before appearing on my Desktop. It is requesting antivirus and Microsoft Security Essentials be disabled and closed my browser without being asked. It seems that it will not appear on my Desktop until it finishes whatever it is doing. Do you think it is safe to let it run? What I'm trying to describe, but not very well, is that ComboFix appears to be not merely extracting files and installing itself, but appears intent on running without being asked.
Little scary. Ok, I'm a wimp. Let it finish and then you can apply the removal script. Combofix is a malware removal tool, just so you know.
We use it here sometimes. It is a double edged sword in that it's dangerous to use without expert help. But don't be nervous of it being on your system. Tim will continue to assist with helping you remove it anyway. Last edited: Dec 13, The downloaded ComboFix. However, the uninstall script does not run because no ComboFix folder was generated in Desktop or anywhere else that I can find and I have "Display hidden files?
Maybe I should have accepted the updated version? Did you download it to the desktop? Is the reason ComboFix has left no trail?

View our Welcome Guide to learn how to use this site. Joined Nov 15, Messages I received some help a while back about a suspected virus on my system -- a false alarm, as the problem ended up being with my ISP despite their original repeated insistence otherwise -- and I still have Qoobox on C: from when the helper told me to run Combofix. I still can't delete Qoobox, though. It tells me that access is denied. Could someone help me clear this out? Cookiegal Karen. Malware Specialist Coordinator.
Joined Aug 27, Messages , That was in a thread at Bleeping Computer which you never responded back to. If you had, the helper would have assisted in removing ComboFix properly. Have you tried booting to safe mode to delete it? Unfortunately, "disastrous" doesn't even begin to describe my real life over the last year and a half. I'm caring for someone suffering from severe mental illness, we've had not one but three catastrophic vehicular failures, my husband lost his job, I almost lost my home The thread just had to take a back burner to my real life.
It certainly wasn't my intention to inconvenience anyone.
