Remove combofix

• Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
• In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall(Notice the space between the "x" and "/") then click OK
  
• Follow the prompts on the screen
• A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled

For the first run I would recommend a boot defrag and disk check 

Download and run Puran Disc Defragmenter

u may use this tool to keep junk temp files away:
