Always good to see folks appreciate the forum's assistance. You'll need to right click Start, select Explore, then use that "index" to locate those items. Like C:\ComboFix.txt will be locate in the C drive folder, and C:\Qoobox will also have it's own folder there. ComboFix.exe would be on your desktop if you downloaded it there as instructed. Keeping SuperAntiSpyware is optional - you can either keep it for regular updates and scans ro remove it through Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs.

Infection sometimes will temp disable that to force an installation from the web, but best to check the more standard settings first. In IE go to Tools - Internet Options - Content tab, and click the top button to see if the Content Advisor is enabled. This is a filter that when set can block that save option (need to Disable it). The other option to check is again in Internet Options - Advanced tab. Scroll down and see if "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" is checked (if so, uncheck it). Then Apply/OK, close and re-open IE and check for changes.
