Rename ComboFix.exe to commy.exe before you save it to your Desktop

Try to double-click on it, instead. Also, do not worry about disabling the antivirus.

There were over 100 files identified. Most seem to be mp3 files. Some the reason states postponed. There are win32.krap,ai files that state postponed. The report is still on the computer, I just can't figure out how to save it. Is it OK for me to restart without saving the report?
