combofix

Welcome to Major Geeks!

No it doesn't. Your antivirus program is probably having a false detection but we cannot answer that unless you provide the EXACT details.

Why are you trying to run ComboFix anyway?

 

Then I'm sorry to have to break the bad news, but your actions have lead to a reinstall.

Since ComboFix is indicating it has been compromised, it probably mentioned something about a possible Virut infection. This mean your Windows Operating system files have become infected and there is no known reliable fix for this. In addition there are many many other infected files (just like ComboFix was being infected as you downloaded it). We could spend a lot of time trying to remove this infection, but odds are that it will not work because the nature of the infection has so many executable system files infected that as soon as we fix one file, other files that are infected will almost immediately or upon the next reboot, just reinfect the files. In addition, your PC would still basically be unreliable/untrustworthy even if we manage to fix the infected files that we can see since there could be many more that we are not seeing.

The safest thing for you to do is backup your personal data immediately since your PC could possibly become unbootable at any point in time. Do not back up any executable files. This includes programs that you have downloaded since any of them could be infected.

Once you backup, you need to format partitions and reinstall Windows and all other software especially your protection software. Then install all updates for all software. DO NOT reinstall from any executable file backups you made while this PC was infected or you will just be reinstalling the infection.
