Hello,
Should I uninstall NTRGOPT and ERUNT?
I've uninstalled ComboxFix, and installed WOT, thank you. I have a couple of questions:
1. Many of your safe searching tips are for IE but I use Firefox, what steps can I take to protect my...
I typed it into the search box and was able to uninstall ComboFix, I'll keep you posted.
I'm using Windows Vista, I clicked start but I don't see "Run" only a search box.

The system seems to be okay, but I haven't done any significant web searches. Right now I'm using duck duck go and used it to find yahoo to sign into my email.
I dragged CFScript to ComboxFix BUT when I attempted to run it, I was told that I couldn't save it under a comboxfix name and to rename the file. But when I made a second attempt, I was able to start...

Hi,
I'm reading the instructions laid out in the sticky, thus far I've got a DDS report which I'm posting below. First I'm giving a link to my initial thread which is here:

Thank you. I didn't open the attachments but I did save the messages so that I could forward them to the RIAA. I'm surprised there wasn't more buzz about this fake email. I don't know the difference...
Last night I received two emails that I'm 90% sure have been spoofed. The email claims to originate from the RIAA for "copyright infringement". The email says that my IP address has been identified...
I didn't realize that I had done that. My apologies. MWB removed the infected files and right now my computer seems to be okay. :)
Thank you.
Update:
MWB has thus far detected 4 infected objects during a full scan; the scan is ongoing so the number of infected objects may rise.
