- If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:
- Tools->Options->Main tab
- Set to "Always ask me where to Save the files".
- During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:
- It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.
- Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.

- Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

- Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
