    If total solutions is correct (And I suspect he is)
    Reboot and keep pressing F8 until the 'safe mode selection screen' comes up
    Select SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING
    Update and run SAS from there and also COMBOFIX

    Reboot the computer and keep pressing F8 until the 'safe mode selection screen' comes up
    Select SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING
    Then run COMBOFIX as posted above.
    Then go back into SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING and run a full scan with SAS

    thats the boot manager

    F8 is supposed to be the SAFE MODE

    Forget that for now as it could be difficult getting it into safe mode

    Run COMBOFIX in normal mode
