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.

Here are the results of the Security Check:

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...

Hello,

I've pasted the text into the Notepad code box, but I don't have the option of saving it to my desk top. I saved the file as CFSccript.txt and changed "Save as type" to "All files" but when...

I'm pasting it in for you, too.

Before running combofix, in addition to disabling Windows Firewall, should I disable Spybot and Malware Bytes?

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.
