    Delete both of those. Then download fresh copy of ComboFix but don't run it.

    When you have fresh copy on your desktop (non renamed), copy-paste thing in code tags to your run box (click start->run):
    Code:
    Combofix /u

    I have deleted the two combofix's on my desktop and download a new combofix to my desktop without running it. I copy and paste the following in to run:

    combofix /u

    A box pops up that says it cannot find combofix. You mentioned code tags, does that mean I should type it in like this?

    [combofix /u]

    No, just the text inside the box. Anyway, please do that CleanUp! operation with OTM as instructed a few posts earlier. We'll see ComboFix thing again if OTM didn't remove it.

    Okay, OTM finished and I no longer see it's icon or combofix icon. There are others such as Hijackthis, GMER, etc.

    Okay, deleted those. Should I delete all of the logs or just leave them?

    Logs have been deleted. I clicked on a spybot icon and it said 'you may not have persmissions' etc. Should I try to delete that and download and install a new spybot?

    I gave instructions for that kind of situation in post #36. You have to download that inherit.exe file and place it to same folder with .exe file that gives error about permissions and then drag'n'drop that problematic .exe to inherit.exe file.

    Since the Spybot icon on desktop is just a shortcut you have to place the file in the folder that icon is linked to.

    To find out that location, right-click Spybot icon and see which folder does the target point.

    Okay, I have a four spybot icons on my desktop - one is from today - the others are from trying to get spybot to run when I had the virus.

    Just like before, when I tried to follow post #36, I get the same 'no permissions' message even after using the inherit fixer when trying to fix one of the spybots.

    I have now downloaded a new spybot into a new folder and it seems to be working - at least it got as far as asking if I wanted to update and immunize before I started this reply. I would like to delete the other spybots that do not work. Is there a problem with this?
