Yes first delete and then redownload it. Then disconnect physically. And the easiest way to shut down your protect is to just exit them all from the taskbar by the clock. Usually if you right click them it will have a quit, exit, or disable option. Then run it again. Also could you get a screen shot with the exact error? In case you dont know the easiest way to take a screen shot is to hit the prt scrn button on the keyboard and then open MS paint and hit ctrl+v. Then just save it and attach it to your next post.

Didn't get the 'couldnt finish cause it was in use' error, but it still wouldn't make the log. This is the screen it will just sit at forever. Also, this is the piece of log that I find, when I manually search for it. For some reason this winantispyware and upmedia doesn't delete.

I think the problem is that your antivirus programs are starting back up on the restart, so heres what to do. Go to Start>Run and type in "msconfig" without the quotes. Then go to the startup tab and uncheck all the boxes next to antivirus programs. Click ok and it should ask you to restart. unplug your internet and then hit restart. After it restarts run combofix again. It should work now.

I did everything. It runs all the steps (38). Then, just no log. How long does it take usually for the log to appear? That blue screen just doesn't change at all. Its so strange.

I ran xclean twice. It found spyagent.ak again and both times I removed it and restarted the computer. The last time I took a screenshot of it. Does this mean its hiding in control panel or something? Or maybe everytime I delete it it goes elsewehere? Heres the shot:

I have run xclean a few more times since then but it hasn't been detected yet. Could be hiding though or something. I ran counterspy today and it found in files the trojan.lineage heres the log. Why does it say it is in xclean?
