Thanks for your help! I disabled Norton and Spybot and ran ComboFix. It completed the scan in about 10mins, but then once it started writing the log I had a pop up warning - too fast to read sorry - and then ComboFix appeared to stop working. I waited for half an hour with no sign of activity. Tried to shut ComboFix down and the computer crashed. Now I've reset and it seems to have defeated the file I was worried about but hasn't produced a logfile. What should I do next?
