| 683341 | 2008-06-28 05:35:00 | I would get him to uninstall and tick some / most of the ones I posted first. Then reboot Then he maybe able to use the browser. Then get Pancake's file / follow his info |

| 683343 | 2008-06-28 05:54:00 | i dont want him to break his computer xD Its already broken ;) Pancake knows his stuff with Combo fix. BUT just depending on how bad it is, no amount of help may totally fix it. It still may need more work depending on what damage has been done by the infections. |

| 683344 | 2008-06-28 06:16:00 | pancake, does this combofix only temporaily disable usb and CD? or is permanent? | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 683345 | 2008-06-28 06:20:00 | From reading othre posts Pancake has made I think its only while cobofix is running them when you delete it at the end of your fix ithey come back to life | gary67 (56) | ||
| 683346 | 2008-06-28 06:21:00 | From Using Combo fix myself many times the USB and CD should work fine. Pancake knows how to read the log files more accurately. |
