    so shall uninstall then reinstall it, thanks
  • Are you still having problems?

    Have you tried downloading Combofix from another computer and transferring it to your computer - When you download Combofix using a clean computer call it something other than Combofix and then save it.

    as youve had mcafee on
    Use the MCAFEE REMOVAL TOOL (Probably creating some of the problems as its hard to get rid of any other way)
    http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507

    AVIRA has a much better detection rate of viruses than both AVG and Mcafee

    Entirely upto you what you run but id personally stick with Avira as your main anti virus

    I also use PCTOOLS firewall (If you feel the windows one isnt good enough)

    WHATEVER you go for i also suggest scanning alternating weekly using Malwarebytes, Superantispyware and Spybot
