Combofix | Removes Malware,Spyware...
ComboFix, developed by "sUBs", is designed to cleanup malware infections and restore settings modified by malware. It works on 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and Vista.
How it works
ComboFix is an executable software, intended for users with advanced computer skills to run it only on occasions where a regular antivirus would not detect certain malware, or where an antivirus cannot update or otherwise function.
This cleaning utility self runs itself and scans your entire system, including more notable areas such as the registry and the system root files, where most prevalent malware are most likely to hide.
Furthermore, ComboFix also displays a report of malware that were not able to be removed. The report is accepted by many forums, where experienced users analyze them and advise users further steps of action. A current list of forums accepting ComboFix logs is available here.
