Don't remove HijackThis.exe--ComboScan needs it on your system in order to invoke the program. Due to changes made in the tool, it will no longer automatically install it for you, it would direct you to go online and download HijackThis.exe again.

You can delete any previous Hijackthislog.txt

okay i seemed to have 2 .exe i saved the last modified one, after deleting the .txt can i delete the back ups folder too?

Yes.

Double-check that the remaining HijackThis.exe will indeed launch--if you deleted the actual program and only kept the shortcut that you see on the desktop, it won't be able to launch.
