Another person with a similar problem was told to run combofix
You should not listen to bad advise. I made ComboFix but there's a valid reason why we don't ask you to run ComboFix from the onset. ComboFix is a very powerful tool which when improperly used may render your machine to a doorstop. So, we ask user to first run preliminary non-invasive scans like DDS & Gmer, to bring back some logs. With this logs we can determine the infections present & decide whether to deploy ComboFix.

Your machine isn't fully cleansed yet. There appears to be a master boot record infection present.

Please download mbr.exe from here to your desktop, and click the downloaded file to run the scan (a window will open briefly, then close). The scan will create a mbr.log on your desktop - please copy/paste those contents in your next reply.
