S& D Spybot's Tea Timer
While TeaTimer is an excellent tool for the prevention of spyware, it can sometimes prevent HijackThis from fixing certain things.
Please disable TeaTimer for now until you are clean. TeaTimer can be re-activated once your HijackThis log is clean.
- Open Spybot Search & Destroy.
- In the Mode menu click "Advanced mode" if not already selected.
- Choose "Yes" at the Warning prompt.
- Expand the "Tools" menu.
- Click "Resident".
- Uncheck the "Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of overall system settings) active." box.
- In the File menu click "Exit" to exit Spybot Search & Destroy.

Windows Defender
Please disable your Windows Defender Real-time Protection, as it may hinder the removal of some entries.
- Open Windows Defender.
- Click on Tools>Options.
- Scroll down and uncheck "Use real-time protection (recommended)".
- After you uncheck this, click on the Save button and close Windows Defender.
Try to run Combofix again.
