destroy what? the cpu?Welcome to MalwareTips!
ComboFix is a very powerful tool and should only be used when you're asked to by an expert. If you don't know what you're doing you can easily destroy your computer, so watch out for that.
Whats AV?destroy what? the cpu?
two things you need
one disable your AV real time protection
just double click and your done
the rest it will do.
so far i never had prob with it, i've used it at least 500 times. i had prob with other so called safe software like super anti spyware and even MBAM (7 years ago) but never ever had prob with combofix. it is my first priority after msert.exe and these day the great MBAM.
do not be afraid to use it
After running an antivirus can with Malwarebytes as has been suggested above, download this program (in chrome) and run it, just download, open and click the "Apply" button.

It works by repairing the Internet Explorer files which can be changed by viruses, for example a virus can alter Internet Explorer so as the virus starts as well, and when the virus is deleted, this can mean Internet Explorer can't open either (one has come to depend on the other).
Anyways, welcome to MalwareTips, everybody around here is really friendly, I'm sure you'll love it, and the people here wil help you have that computer fixed in no time at all
Since I ran the downloads to get rid of "eliminate this file has a virus it's been deleted" I haven't been able to connect to the web with IE, only Chrome.

You should not run ComboFix unless you are specifically asked to by a helper. Also, due to the power of this tool it is strongly advised that you do not attempt to act upon any of the information displayed by ComboFix without supervision from someone who has been properly trained. If you do so, it may lead to problems with the normal functionality of your computer.
