Ok,so here's where I'm at....I ran Windows repair a second time and thought it could have made things worse, that's why I asked.I did run chkdsk with the two switches. Now I tried combofix and I have a few questions. after I installed it when I first ran it it said that it could take up to 10 minutes or on a badly infected drive actually double the time ....well I ran it for awhille there was a blinking cursor for about 8 hours I didn't know if I should stop it or not there were no indications that it was running other than a flashing cursor and there was not even any activity on the hard drive light. I finally stopped it and then ran it again. this time after a while the cursor stopped blinking. Again no indication that it was done or that it did anything. By the way the only way I could find to stop it was to reset the computer by holding down the Power button.
Later I realized that it looked like windows update downloaded updates, so I tried to install them and it worked! Also every thing seems to work now.
How do I remove combofix?
Is this how combofix works?
Do you think it fixed the problem or is it a coincidence? It didnt say anything like it was done or it found anything.
Do I care about the recovery console that was installed, and will it be removed?
