Whats this 'Birdstep Technology' all about?
Open notepad and copy/paste the text in RED below
File::
c:\windows\system32\drivers\Msft_User_WpdFs_01_00_ 00.Wdf
Save this as "CFScript"
Then drag the CFScript into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below.
This will start ComboFix again. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply
Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
then run a KASPERSKY ONLINE SCAN (click to scan 'MY COMPUTER')

Please post the complete log it creates:idea:0 -
Birdstep technology is to do with the 3 connect software, I access the internet through a dongle.
I didn't save the Combofix to my desktop. Can I not just run it again from my downloads folder? Does it not look right or have I done something wrong? Why have I got to run it again?0 -
Because this file needs removing ~

Scratch the above. (leave it for now)
Im not 100% on what the file is:idea:0 -
Ooooo I had already tried to do it but it wouldn't let me. It said CFScript appeared to be incorrectly spelt. Just as well then :-)
Should I run Kapersky or leave things as they are?
