New here and glad you guys exist!!!

I have ran several anti this and that software including AVG, Avast,True Sword4,Spy ware Doc etc etc ...last 3days

Currently after reading a few threads on the same or similar spyware probs I am running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for a full scan on both my drives C-Drive-master and D-Drive.

A few reports say that PC is clean but as Malwarebytes is scanning it has already found at least one infected item ...still running as i write this...

Since I am pretty PC illiterate I need some noob proof way to get back access to my TASK MANAGER / ALL PROGRAMS and C and D Drives if possible but I will do my best !!!

Thanks !!!

Alex

This place is magic....just registering alone has got my Task Manager and Drives Back ...Hallelujah !!! (actually following a similar thread did it!!!)

Except for one last thing my Desk Top Properties is still missing ...


Only menu option is General and "FILE PROTOCOL" is written below

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums .

==========

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from HERE or HERE

• You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
• Physically disconnect from the internet.
• Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
• Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
• When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply
• Re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix..

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Thanks Crunchie !!!
Should I just copy and paste in the next reply or ???
