Rarst Jonny Is Avira livecd free as well? Need to do some more antivirus livecd reviews, they draw tasty amount of search traffic. Jonny Combofix is the big gun I pull out when I've already tried my Avira disc and superantispyware and malwarebytes and a-squared and STILL have a nagging doubt or have lost some functionality.
It's a great tool but not to be used if you're not too sure what you are doing. Nice review! Rudolph Don't see why Combofix is dangerous. It uses the same rootkit removing methods than the top av products. Well let see all the top av products remove rootkits which leaves you with a damage os. Combofix installs the recover console for you aswell as make backup of your registery. I've been running it for years now weekly after the last virut outbreak which all the antivirus products failed to remove and messed up my os.
So if Combofix damages your os any antivirus products will do the same because it removed a rootkit. Don't know what this fuss about the danger of the program. Its noob prove and idiot can use it without problems. Rarst Rudolph I think the "danger" of ComboFix is in usability rather than techniques. ComboFix doesn't really bother.

It can be started from the command line and is alot easier to use than combofix. Rarst Russ It is rising and nasty as usual trend in malware to block anti-malware tools from running.
Most of the time it is easy to circumvent by renaming executable. And naturally the more known apps are more likely to get blocked, so ComboFix flies under radar as less mainstream tool. Russ Like other have commented, ComboFix is my last resort.
I've had viruses that would not even let me start malwarebytes even in safe mode. ComboFix to the rescue! Combo Fix does not even blink when executing within a badly infected system.
Read the tutorial first! If you are not very techish, best to let a pro remove it. Rudolph Running ComboFix by yourself is like performing open heart surgery on yourself--the scalpel and other surgical tools that is ComboFix is meant to be wielded by a highly trained surgeon only in emergencies or dire circumstances.
So combofix should be removed from a system once it has accomplished its job, unlike an AV that is there to protect you from future infections.
Those instructions were most likely given under the guidance of an expert to fix that particular member's problems after careful evaluation of the malware involved.
