    Well for starters i wouldn't reccomend the program.if you can pinpoint the exact file that you think is the infected one,why not just upload that file to virustotal.com.Not only is it saving you valuable time that would be wasted needlessly doing scans,but it can also give you a comprehensive analysis of that file using many antivirus programs.
    How succinctly you managed to express all that in one word. In future could you explain yourself on the first go, without needing to resort to being rude?

    My son is back on his computer and just tried to install a new game called IJJI reactor, (apparently from the official site) The antivirus popped up a message several times saying HEUR\Malware had been detected.
    Then we tried to install outpost firewall on there and it kept getting blocked by talktalk security.
    I think we may have found the folder talktalk was in now and have hopefully removed it, via add/remove programmes.

    I still havent done the kaspersky scan on my computer, partly because it takes so long and partly because our internet went down all day yesterday.

    I just found this post that I made about my son's infection on the other forum before I came here.

    'I just tried to run combofix again to get a new one and the antivirus tried to block it saying it was HIDDENEXT/Crypted
    then I got a message saying

    'not safe to continue
    the combofix package has been compromised.
    you may be infected with a file patching virus 'Virut'

    Thanks for all your help earlier ASJ. ;)
    My computer's been working fine since your help.
    The only thing that doesn't work is windows movie maker,
    which closes down as soon as it's loaded.
    I can't work out how to uninstall it or where to download a new version from.
    Anyone know a quick fix?
    The only advice I found was to turn on automatic updates, which i did.
