combofix - 'SORT' is not recognized as an internal or external command. :-(

first of all i would like to say huge 'thank you' to everybody here on the forum - i'm always getting answers to questions that i have in mind - all i need to do is search in this forum and walla !

so before i start - thank you all - "combofix" creator, and helpful users, who give great advises. :-D

i'm trying to run Combofix (on Normal mode ! not Safe mode) on one of my computers in my domain (CPU - intel 2.8GHZ, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, WinXP Pro).
the result is this:

Code:

AutoScan

Scanning for infected files . . .
This typically doesn't take more than 10 minutes
However, scan times for badly infected machines may easily double
'SORT' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

and hangs there for about an hour. so i stopped the process and tried the next steps:
1 clearing the %TEMP%
2 deleting the "C:\Combofix" directory,
3 running HJT and checking the log on

Code:

hXXp://wXw.hijackthis.de/

which seems to be fine.
4 i'm now shutting the computer and trying to run it on safe mode. if it'l work i'll post immidiatly :major

thank you again everyone ! :wave

 

thank you. i did followed the instructions. and i solve my problem by simply copying the "sort" file from another computer (with xp sp2). and suddenly it works !


thank you !

any ways , what's the meaning of the line that repeats herself :

that i see at the end of Combofix ?
is it bad or good ?
