It actually effects all those that received help if I'm not mistaken.  :'(

Yes. According to Grinler if a copy of comboFix have been used for the past couple of day, it would be better to check out the comp.

It is not that alarming and the situation is not that overall dramatical. Not all instances of Combofix have become infected: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic483431.html
But for non-qualified removal purposes which what we strongly advise against and in the hands of normal users Combofix is a no no at the moment...
