ComboFix is NOT a virus.
What anti-virus program said it was a virus?

Yes Sir dairyman. Avira detected as a virus. I think the sedfix.exe inside the ComboFix.exe detected as a virus.

    It is not unusual for anti-virus software to falsely detect malware fixes as viruses themselves. If you downloaded the fix from a trusted site then you can ignore the warning.
