Combofix is completely automated

So make sure to disable the antivirus and run combofix as administrator and then go get a cup of coffee :-)

The link for windows 8.1 is here.
But i do not think that your protected files are corrupt, as it does not record any violation.

I downloaded and tried to run the Combofix but it would not run and advised me that Combofix is not meant to run in "Compatibility Mode" the program shall now exit. I am not sure what this means? Is this program for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1? My Windows Store is temporarily working now and I can install some App's. I was trying many different things so I am not sure was I did to get it to work for now. I am sure by latter today or tomorrow it will be back to it's corrupted state. On the start screen my SKYPE will not open. But no problems for now because I have it on my desktop.

Looks like combofix would work on windows 8 but doesnt right properly on 8.1

They are working on an update for it. So for now you will have to skip it.

Thanks for the info. Once it is upgraded I will try it again. The other day I went on line and chatted with one of the Microsoft Answer Techs. I explained my problem to him and that every thing I have tried has only been a  temporary fix. He told me that if I wanted the problem fixed I should buy one of their support plans. I told him hell no because I believe this to be a Microsoft software problem and that Microsoft should fix the problem in one of their windows updates. I ended the chat session with him but am still looking for a solution to the problem. Another question for you. Is there a simple and easy way to clear the Event Logs or does it really matter how large it gets.

Regards
