Nenen - should you delete the link in your first post, in case people click on it and pick up what you've picked up? Just a thought.0

OP is still using Vista SP1. When clean they need to update to SP2.No free lunch, and no free laptop

Browntoa, when you say 'run this' do you mean I should click on 'run' or should I (as the website suggests) save the download as a file and then run it?“A journey is best measured in friends, not in miles.”

It doesn't make any difference. The former installs it straight away, the latter saves it to your PC and then you just double click it when you want to run it.No free lunch, and no free laptop

download the file to your desktop , then run it
it will otherwise be running from a temp file location ( and combofix flushes that location)Ex forum ambassador

Browntoa - thank you for your swift reply. I have just read through all the instructions for downloading combofix and am rather nervous particularly because it says I might lose internet connections etc. I am just under three weeks away from handing in my masters thesis (not in computing as you can probably tell lol) and being able to use my computer with internet connection is VITAL during this time. Given what I have down so far, do you think it would be a problem for me or make things any worse to delay running combofix until after 3rd August (thesis handin date)? Obviously if this malware or virus or whatever it is might be likely to cause my PC to crash entirely then I need to take immmediate action... just note sure how serous this is and very anxious not to make things any worse for myself at this crucial time.
Thanks again“A journey is best measured in friends, not in miles.”

I've not ever seen combofix do this, but to be sure rerun malwarebytes and see if it finds anything
post the log if it does
then follow up with this other similar tool that may catch stuff that the other has not

Hi again annd thank you for all the help. I really appreciate it.
I reran malaware and it didn't find anything. However, the superantispyware found something (still linked to the doublejoy thing). I have checked the box to remove and quarentine these items. Do I need to do anything else?
