ComboFix Installation Process
I use ComboFix to remove stubborn Malware other anti malware programs fail to remove. It seems to be very good that way.
When you install ComboFix one of the first things it does is create a System Restore Point and backup your computers Registry.
This is so you can revert the status of your computer back to its current state in the event something goes wrong.
If you have any installed anti virus or anti malware programs running you will receive an on-screen warning.
ComboFix closes these programs down for you, but it is advisable to do this yourself first.
ComboFix then starts scanning your computer for infected files. It is usually quite quick but this depends on the nature of your infections and how many you have.
ComboFix doesn't look particularly impressive compared to other anti malware programs. However, it is very good at removing Rootkits and other types of Malware.
When it is done scanning your computer it will reboot it, then prepare a log report when your machine has restarted.
I've never looked at the report. It doesn't make much sense to me. All I know is MalwareBytes (Opens New Window) didn't remove some infections my computer had, but ComboFix did.
I can't recommend this tool highly enough!
