You are supposed to have ALL browsers CLOSED when running Combofix. You should also be DISCONNECTED from the internet.

I did disconnect my internet connection and close all browsers when I ran Combofix.exe. Actually, I just ran one more time, and the log is exact same as last time (in red).

bingo, you must be running combofix incorrectly. Look at this link; post #107 to see what a combofix log will look like

Follow these instructions exactly...you must be clicking the mouse during the scan because it seems to be stalling and not completing the scan.
Delete the last one you downloaded and click on the link here;

Download ComboFix.exe and save it to your DeskTop.
-- DoubleClick combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When it's finished, it will produce a log of what it found. Please post that log for us.
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running as it may cause it to stall...

I ran new downloaded Combofix.exe one more time. And the log is still short. This time I selected '1', then start scan. After 30 min, the scan seems stop, I clicked the area outside the combofix window, and wait another hour, nothing happened. And following is the log:
Scanning for infected files . . .
This typically doesn't take more than 10 minutes

Scan times for badly infected machines may easily double


"C:\WINNT\system32\bszip.dll"
"C:\Temp\tn3"

Is anything wrong in my procedures?

This time I selected '1', then start scan.

Type 1 and then hit Enter on your keyboard.
The scan will run.
When the scan is completed a Notepad will automatically open with the log. Save the log as a text file and post it back here.

I ran the new downloaded Combofix.exe by type '1' and hit Enter. During the first 15 min, the program is working (hard disc light is blink), then it's sleeping. The info in the window is same as I posted last time. I closed the window after 4 hours (during these period, I haven't move my mouse and key board) because looks like it'll do nothing forever. How long supposed Combofix.exe run? I never get the Notepad log. All the log I gave to you is copying from Combofix.exe window. I noticed there is 1 directory and 1 .bat file created in desktop right after running the exe file, but they are disappeared from desktop in about 20 seconds. Is this normal? Help me go through this scan please! Many thanks!!!
