    lol wasnt me.. bro in law housesat for us for about 5 days.. come back and all sorts of crap. I have spybot and Malaware and Ad-Aware. Whatever this is wont let Spybot and Malaware run (not even in safe mode) and Ad-Aware doesnt detect anything. This is a nasty one.

    Combofix got past the virus that wouldnt load spybot, malaware, itunes store and a whole bunch of other things. This program is dandy!

    nope everything seems perfectly back to normal. I'm running Spybot and others now to make sure. I think I'll stick with them still. But this is a good one to run in a pinch. When the virus F's with my other programs.

    It said to disable my firewall. Sounded like a Republican conspiracy to me, so I left my firewall on. Pretty soon, my firewall stopped Combofix from fixing me up with a date with the trojan Artemis. There will be no Combofix for me.

    I suggest you try loading it with your firewall on and see for yourself, before disabling your firewall.

    the official instructions from the primary download site...

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

    "Close all open Windows including this one.

    I ran it, but all I received back was some type of log. Is that all there is?

    yeah thats all it was for me.. it told me the stuff it removed. So after the log was completed, I checked my stuff I was having problems with and its all back to normal. I think it automatically removes the threats.. it doesnt give you an option of "click ok to continue" for example.
