ComboFix is not a tool that is intended to be used without the direct supervision of a qualified expert. To use ComboFix on your own is to court disaster for your computer. Please stop all attempts at self-fixes for your system's issues as that may only confuse the issue further and cause additional problems.

In order for us to help you it is necessary that you provide us with a HijackThis log. Please follow the guideline at the link below to start a new topic and post your HijackThis log. Also include your ComboFix log in the same post.
