I saw that BC but then found other conflicting threads.

But the more I look at it the 白目國中生1 indeed makes it look malicious.

that's for sure. I can imagine the calibur of a program that presents that as the default install dir ;D

Basically- it isn't present on my system anywhere, and I'm using a Nvidia card as well, and the name just doesn't make sense. and the install location now makes it look even more seedy.

New update: My anti-virus software says that ComboFix is infected, then deletes it...should I turn it off, download CF, then run CF?

Yes turn it off.

Temporarily disable your antivirus, and any antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.

Sorry I haven't posted in here for a while.

It told me to download Windows Restore  (I can't remember, but it pops up to choose if I want to restore my computer every time I turn it on)...and then it just crashed...

Edit: The program is called Windows Recovery Console.
