Your java is out of date. Click your start button, open Control panel.

• click the Update tab
• Click update now

Next, Double click on OTL.exe

• Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
• Do Not copy the word CODE

No need to post the log.

In order to properly remove combofix from your computer we need a copy that is downloaded directly to your desktop. You ran it from a temporary location so please download a new copy and save it to your desktop. Do not run it, we will need it for the uninstall.

You can get a new copy from

Link 1
Link 2

Next

Click the Start button, click Run. Copy and paste the following line into the run box and click OK (don't miss the first " mark)

"%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /uninstall



Next

Open OTL then click the Clean Up button. You may get prompted by your firewall that OTL wants to contact the internet - allow this. A cleanup.txt will be downloaded, a message dialog will ask you if you want to proceed with the cleanup process, click Yes. This will do some clean up tasks and delete some of the tools you have downloaded plus itself.

I suggest you keep MBAM. Keep it updated and use it regularly.

You may want to consider Foxit Reader instead. It may be a bit lighter on resources.

In either case you should uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.01 first. Be sure to move any PDF documents to another folder first though.
