Answer» Ok. We can do some cleanup.
(Note: MAKE sure there's a space between the word ComboFix and the forward-slash.)
Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files. Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop. Double-click TFC.exe to run it. Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin. * Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process. * Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. * Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished. Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning. ******************************************************** Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates. ---------- I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust.

I then restarted my computer, but a problem occurred. After the restart my sound wouldn't work. My speakers worked fine but the volume icon was gone from my taskbar and ANYTHING I played on youtube no sound WOULD come out. I did a system restore to the day before which fixed the problem. Also i'm still having the issue with windows not automatically logging me in.
