Hello Stacy, and welcome to our forum.

Please download to your desktop.

Close all other running program because your system will be restarted when running combofix.exe.

Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.

When it's done running it will produce a log for you. Please post that log in your next reply a log with a new hijackthis log.

Important Note - Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running, that may cause it to stall.
