With all that being said, I can see why you don't use spyware doctor and I have moved on to use spybot S&D combined with MBAM as my primary defensive scanners :)

Also, I know you have a very...

what I meant was that spyware doctor knows its a legit application but it found it anyway...I know you are quite busy and don't have time for small talk so i'm sorry for wasting your time :/

I see... well nod32 and malware bytes both came up clean. Thank you for all the time you put in to help me solve my issue! :)

Also at this point is it alright to remove combofix and its related files from my machine?

combofix detected nod32 on startup after the initial scan+restart, I disabled it before scanning however, suggestions?
