Is combofix a root kit killer program or combined malware, trojan removal tool.

Jraju, looks to me like it's a "root killer". I performed many A/V scans, multiple sources,with no "catches" or "snags".

C:\setup.exe
c:\windows\SysWow64\Packet.dll
c:\windows\SysWow64\pthreadVC.dll
c:\windows\SysWow64\wpcap.dll
Those dll files attach to the network, so you did have something hooked to it that was causing it. it doesnt tell me what rootkit or virus it was, just the files names :-)

This morning, Boot time was under 2 minutes for Windows 7 x64!!! Still have the DARK screen during and after Boot (just now, in fact!! ~Ha~!) I can live with that. To recover the screen, I double-click Fn/F6 combination. It is wonderful to have a responsive computer, again.
Thank you! Social Security on Tuesday!!!! YeeHah!!

Maybe if you can do a little digging you can figure out where you got these files from. I wish it wouldn't have deleted those files automatically until you could have uploaded to virustotal.com and scan it, see what kind of rootkit/virus it was.
Bubba Euler:
Yes! If I'd have known that the files were deleted, I'd have "isolated 'em" and sent them to you. I am very impressed with the capabilities of ComboFix, though. Windows 7 x64 Enterprise booted under 2 minutes, this morning!!
I have no idea from where I got this infection. Gmail, Hotmail, MajorGeeks, Breitbart, DrudgeReport, Chron.com, WND.com, Statesman.com, youtube.com, .... and the various links from each of those.
I use CCleaner. This is the "downside" to cleaning the system, isn't it?
I placed VirusTotal.com in my Bookmarks!!!
