I don't hear any HD activity and the screensaver keeps coming on which didn't happen during the other stages, so I don't think anything is happening right now. It's been here for 110 minutes

Click on Start --> Run, and then copy this text:
Press OK, and tell me is ComboFix working now. Does it still hangs on Stage 50
Code:
"C:\Users\Petty home\Desktop\ComboFix(2).exe" /KillAll /StepDel /NoMBRPress OK, and tell me is ComboFix working now. Does it still hangs on Stage 50
Want to note, it's definitely acting different now, it's deleted "coupon alert" related files when before it didn't do anything except say it was completing stages.

OK, it seems to have stopped after stage 4, no HD sounds and screensaver coming on. It's been at this stage 30 minutes, is that OK?

Everything seems fine, I restarted it to see if everything would come up normally and I was very nervous, but it's fine!

OK, now I will recommend some programs to have in future, and we will clean tools we used:
For future protection I can recommend you:
- Adblock --> https://adblockplus.org/en/chrome
- Unchecky --> http://unchecky.com/
Something to read --> Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe and secure on the Internet
• The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:
=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.
Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
Remove disinfection tools
Create registry backup
Purge System Restore
Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)
The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.
