Re: restore console XP media center w/combo fix

Hello

If you're planning to run combofix without a helper's supervision, please abandon the idea. Combofix is a powerful tool that should only be used by helpers.

Re: restore console XP media center w/combo fix

To reiterate what Angelfire777 has said, ComboFix should only be used under the guidance of trained persons. Doing otherwise is not recommended, and can prove harmful to one's machine.

XP Media Center is built upon XP Pro. One reason we ask for logs from Deckard's System Scanner in the HijackThis Log Help forum is it enumerates that more accurately than HijackThis does. It also provides much more detail than does HijackThis.

Since you're receiving help in the HJT forum, we'll now close this thread.
