Hi! Yes, I am having trouble. I have dl combofix 3 times and I don't know how to dl it and save it to my desktop. So when i click on it to run it, it automatically runs on it's own and I am unable to go into a notepad feature. I am confused! Tymaca
Hi Tymaca,

No problem. :) Let's see if i can talk you through this.

If you have combofix.exe on your desktop, please delete it.

To download a new copy to your desktop
  • Click the link below
    Combofix
  • A box with Opening Combofix.exe will popup, click Save File
  • On the next window that opens, make sure that the box at the top Save in is set to desktop
  • click save
Combofix.exe should now be on your desktop.

Do no click on combofix.exe to run. Dragging and dropping the CFScript.txt onto will cause it to run.

I'll give you the instructions again so you don't have to go looking for them

To disable Avast's resident scanner
  • right click the "a" icon near the clock
  • highlite pause provider
  • click standard shield
Now you are ready to make the CFSript.txt

Open a new Notepad session
  • Click the Start button, click run
  • in the run box type notepad
  • click ok
  • In the notepad, Click "Format" and be certain that Word Wrap is not checked.
  • Copy and paste all the text in the code box below into the Notepad.
    Do Not copy the word CODE

In the notepad

When CF finishes running, the ComboFix log will open along with a message box–do not be alarmed. With the above script, ComboFix will capture files to submit for analysis.
  • Ensure you are connected to the internet and click OK on the message box.
Please post back wth the combofix log and a new HJT log.

If you have any more problems, please do not hesitate to post back. :thumbup:
