Oh, when I tried to close RogueKiller, I received a pop-up error window:

"No items have been deleted. Do you really want to quit?"

How should I respond?

Ok. How's your computer running now? Any other issues before we cleanup?

Thank you, SuperDave!

The computer is running okay. Was any infections found?

If yes, is there any chance the infection propagated over the local network my other computers? I am seeing the AT&T ISP fixed network issues, and that I should restart my browsers on my other machines.

You really know your stuff!
Much appreciated,
George Sr

A few malware infections were removed along with some other junk but nothing serious.

Only if you share files over the network. Let's do some cleanup.

To uninstall ComboFix


  • Click the Start button. Click Run. For Vista: type in Run in the Start search, and click on Run in the results pane.
  • In the field, type in ComboFix /uninstall

(Note: Make sure there's a space between the word ComboFix and the forward-slash.)


  • Then, press Enter, or click OK.
  • This will uninstall ComboFix, delete its folders and files, hides System files and folders, and resets System Restore.

********************************************
Click Start> Computer> right click the C Drive and choose Properties> enter
Click Disk Cleanup from there.

Click Yes on the Confirmation screen.

This runs the Disk Cleanup utility along with other selections if you have chosen any. (if you had a lot System Restore points, you will see a significant change in the free space in C drive)
