    Hi
    OK, open Outlook, delete everything in your Inbox, Sent Items box and then your deleted items box.

    Click Start > Run in the run box copy and paste or type ComboFix /u then hit Enter to uninstall ComboFix and remove the files/folders it created. This action will also reset the System Restore points, removing any infected files there as well.
    Please check and verify that C:\Qoobox and C:\ComboFix folders were removed, as well as the C:\ComboFix.txt file. If they weren't please delete them manually.

    Empty your recycle bin.

    Now run a scan with McAfee again and let me know what it finds.

    Hi Geri,

    The Mcafee scan did not detect anything. I also ran the kaspersky online scan and again nothing.

    Many Thanks,

    Mike.
