I seem to be a little stuck with ComboFix.

Just waiting for the combofix log to be produced- it's taking a VERY long time for this step (about an hour now).
I've downloaded combofix but I'm having trouble getting the recovery console installed. I get an error that the version of windows on my computer is newer than the version on the cd.
Sorry about that.
Here you go:
