Hi,
I'm having exactly the same problem as others. The scan simply hangs on 'scanning commonly infected areas....' and showing zero items scanned.
The little pop-up box bottom right of my screen is showing 'trojan horse' detected, but clicking 'fix' has the same result as above - a hung scan.
I tried downloading the malwarebites ant-malware as suggested by the second poster, but, like the other posters, it simply won't run, either in safe mode or in normal mode.
I did look at the 'combofix' website, but it looks a bit dangerous & scary as I have no real technical knowledge.
Any advice please? My newly renewed Norton Anti-Virus 2009 is currently useless.
