    Download ComboFix Prompt
    Click on the Save button and then when it asks you where to save it, make sure you save it directly to your Windows Desktop. An image showing this is below.

    Downloading ComboFix to the Desktop
    When you have the Save as screen configured to save ComboFix.exe to the Desktop, click on the Save button. ComboFix will now start downloading to your computer. If you are on a dialup, this may take a few minutes. When ComboFix has finished downloading you will now see an icon on your desktop similar to the one below.

    double-click on the icon, you may see a screen similar to the one below.
    open-file-warning.jpg
    Windows Open File Security Warning
    Windows is issuing this prompt because ComboFix does not have a digital signature. This is perfectly normal and safe and you can click on the Run button to continue. If you are using Windows Vista, and receive UAC prompt asking if you would like to continue running the program, you should press the Continue button.
    You will now see the first ComboFix screen as shown below.
    cf-preparing.jpg
    ComboFix is Preparing to Run
    ComboFix is now preparing to run and when it has finished you will see the Disclaimer screen shown below.
    disclaimer.jpg
    ComboFix Disclaimer
    If you do not agree to the disclaimer, then press the number 2 key on your keyboard and then press enter to exit the program. Otherwise, to continue you should press the number 1 key and then press the enter key to continue. If you decided to continue, then ComboFix will create a System Restore point so that if any problems occur while using the program you can restore back to your previous configuration. When ComboFix has finished creating the restore point, it will then backup your Windows Registry as shown in the image below.

    ComboFix is backing up the Windows Registry
    Once the Windows Registry has finished being backed up, ComboFix will disconnect your computer from the Internet. Therefore, do not be surprised or concerned if you receive any warnings stating that you are no longer on the Internet as your connection will be completely restored at a later stage in the program.
    ComboFix will now start scanning your computer for known infections. This procedure can take some time, so please be patient.

    While the program is scanning your computer, it will change your clock format, so do not be concerned when you see this happen. When ComboFix is finished it will restore your clock settings to what they were previously. You will also see the text in the ComboFix window being updated as it goes through the various stages of its scan. An example of this can be seen below.
    still-scanning-clockchanges.jpg
    Stages of the ComboFix AutoScan
    At the time of this writing there are a total of 41 stages as shown in the image below, so please be patient.
    still-scanning-showing-stag.jpg
    41st Stage of the ComboFix AutoScan
    When ComboFix has finished running, you will see a screen stating that it is preparing the log report as shown below.
    preparing-log-report.jpg
    ComboFix is preparing the log report
    This can take a while, so please be patient. If you see your Windows desktop disappear, do not worry. This is normal and ComboFix will restore your desktop before it is finished. Eventually you will see a new screen that states the program is almost finished and telling you the programs log file, or report, will be located at C:\ComboFix.txt. This can be seen in the image below.
    almost-done.jpg
    ComboFix is almost done!
    When ComboFix has finished, it will automatically close the program and change your clock back to its original format. It will then display the log file automatically for you as shown below.
    cf-log.jpg
    ComboFix Log File
    You should now post this log as a reply to the topic where you were asked to run combofix. Your helper will now analyze this log and let you know what they would like you to do next. If you having problems connecting to the Internet after running Combofix, then please see this section.
    It is possible that ComboFix, even on its first run, may have fixed the problems you are having. We strongly suggest that you still post your log into the topic that you are receiving help as you most likely will have infections left over that your helper will need to analyze further.
