Also: do i download combofix from the link that you have just sent me to this new computer and then save it on a USB and transfer it to the old computer? mind you i hve not opened a browser in the old infected pc as the browser was not working and also since i was worried to enter the internet w no protection.

i just deleted the 5MB combofix icon from the desktop but i beleive this is just the read only file and to delete combofix completely i shall need to delete the whole 'combofix' folder under C drive which itself (the combofix folder) has a copy of the DVD drive, the control panel, the shared docs file and my own documents file. Is that so? or not?

are you sure? i read about the artemis virus and it sounds exactly as the one that i caught on the other computer in the first instance. Can i trust you please? also this new computer does not have any records at all, belongs to a friend and the last think i wish to do is to infect her pc. 

 

also,if you tell me it is safe, how can i download this comboxif in view of the Mcafee preventing it?

i have downloaded it from the infected pc, moved it from the download folder to the desktop (using folder manager) and tried to open it with the run command you offered, making sure all the letters ,symbols and dashes (forward or backward) are exact as you wrote. The run command does not recognise it.

i have copied in the run command exactly this trying versions of having front or back strokes in between, and also having 'space' after the KillAll and the Nombr words. DID not make any difference in wont run. IF I TRY TO RUN IT from the icon it runs but it gets stuck on the part about 'autoscan'. 

THIS issue has taken over my life and i hv hd enough...can u pls advise me on how to get control of my files from the external drive/ AT LEAST I WILL BE able to know if i have my files or not. FOR the last ten days i am in limbo. thank you

i cannot highlight and copy the line, as this line is on this new pc that has internet connection and the other one is sketchy. i tried to go this forum from the infected pc but the internet connection breaks. \even the google home page does not look genuine.it does not have the G plus or the Gmail signs on the top anymore; dodgy. \so,i just type the command. 

 

Also pls note from each attempt to open bloody combofix on the infected pc a new file/icon is created under my documents file which is under the combofix drive that contains the  C drive etc. 

 

ANYHOW, i am at the end of my wire...i start to accept that i will have to clean and reinstall op system....as long as i can access my external drive....?

i went to the infected maschine and reloaded it and chrome; it opened ok. I went into our forum and exactly cut and pasted the command into the run and it still gave me the  'windows cant find C:documents' make sure you typed the name correctly and try again....

i tried as you asked; i placed the document in the infected pc and opened it with word, copied the command into the run command but nothing. Do you have access to teamviewer so you can look into my computer? i have teamviewer.

thank you; i took a break to eat;my first meal of the day.  :( this command has worked and it does open combofix and it has managed to progress from the autoscan phase (not hung). It has deleted two system32/drivers files and it has completed 50 stages so far. when it finishes and produces a log i will send such to you. hope your evening is going well and thanks for sticking with me  :)

The process completed itself, the pc shut down, but when restarting it hugs, it stops at 95 or so% of the rebooting process. it is the white line / bar above the 'BIOS revision A13 sign'. i m worried that if i force a new reboot we may not obtain the log file? combofix seems to be a mean yet hungry tool :)
