however, it does concern me sometimes that threads are left hanging, such as this one, with no further feedback how can we either know it's resolved or suggest further work

never known combofix to do that to a pc before....you did follow all the instructions as you went through the process ?? , especially turning off your antivirus ??

That is why they say never run combofix without advice - The developer was aware of the problem and released another programme to fix what the CF quarentined.

Although this in itself isn't "new".....not seen any new bugs reported in the last few weeks, and I've run it without issue on several pc's in that timeframe...any pointers R_S ??
