Hi,

There was one in the past but I don't know of any issues right at the moment.

ComboFix was updated to not delete the files.

Tip: Do not keep ComboFix versions around for long.

The tool is updated VERY often, it pays to download a new copy after about two days, which will help detect and remove the very newest variants of malwares and the newest types that come along.

I also strongly suggest that you do not use it without guidance.
