    To open this, windows needs to know what program created it.Windows can go online to look for it automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs on your computer.

    Alright thanks =D
  9. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    First you double click the installer -> close all open windows-> follow the prompts to install -> if vista you may need to right click and select run as admin instead -> select you agree to the license terms -> click Next -> yes you are ready -> Finish


    Then navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Installer Cleanup Utility\msicuu.exe <- doubleclick on this file

    Okay all done.Do I proceed with Combofixer?
  11. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    Make sure you disable this
    1. From within Spyware Doctor, click the "OnGuard" button on the left side.
    2. Uncheck "Activate OnGuard".

    And if you only just downloaded combofix for the first time go ahead and run it again

    If you may have had an older version from a while back we should uninstall it and reinstall through the link in my instructions on the previous page

    *I will check the logs tomorrow have to sleep - I have work in 6 hours

    Not a problem - weird how one thing can lead to another - we got a good start on it though
