I don't know if you mean issues with this scan or issues in general...
Scan is slow, but I expected that....
The only way I can be online is through IE (which is probably an older version) and I have to push away the message : "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close"
If I click on the "Send Error Report" button, I'm finished, left to looking at my desktop...
Firefox was even worse. it would close before giving me a message, I uninstalled it, I did that before I realized I could sneak online through IE and get through to tech spot...
On IE, I have very limited graphics... When you posted to me how to drag the recovery console there was no picture, I used my imagination and I remembered it from my last trip here about a month ago...
Okay, scan is finally finished " No threats found"
Do you want a log?

You definitely need to upgrade IE to at least ver. 7
IE6 is a very ancient program and prone to infection.
Try to install Firefox again and let me know, how things are with both browsers.
Before reinstalling Firefox, make sure all of its old traces are gone, as described here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

It went through a malware removal stint, then started updating stuff and then at the end told me installation had failed and to restart and click the new icon Internet Explorer Troubleshooting guide, which incidentally tells me a whole lot of nothing 
But....
Firefox installed perfectly... no error messages or crashes, things look much more "modern" now, lol...

Disable TeaTimer, as it'll interfere with the cleaning process:
Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon.
Click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.
TeaTimer closes.
NOTE. If on re-boot, Spybot inquires about registry change(s), allow it.
Alternatively, I suggest, you uninstall Spybot since it's a tool of the past.

I uninstalled Spybot, followed HJT instructions, System restore and I already have WOT.
A few questions:
I still do not have the recovery console downloaded. I have the extractor on my desktop still, should I try once again to install in into Combo Fix? I ask because this isn't my first visit here and this issue comes up every time we try to do a fix...
What about Internet Explorer? Should I continue to try to update it or is that pointless now that firefox is stable again?
Threatfire still crashes when I try to scan...

I suggest, you uninstall ThreatFire.
I used to use, but I found out, it may cause problems sometimes.
Regarding recovery console...if you have Windows CD, you're fine. If you don't, let me know.
How about Windows updates? Are they current?
How did you try to install IE7? By a standalone download?

Okay,Threatfire is a goner then.
Windows updates are fine, it was the only thing I was allowed to do online for awhile other than use my email... until I discovered the trick of pushing away the error box...
I downloaded IE7 onto my desktop and then tried to install...
Shall I dump Smart defrag also?
