To be honest, I am aware of the warning and all that...
But...to refrain myself from using it is a very bad idea... I have been using it for quite some time and never it had failed me.. CF couple with a few other tools can make a great fixing tool... What I have been practicing is I used CF, MBAM then CCleaner....and voila...so far it works for most of the time... |

there's no one click solution to malware/virus.. the cleaner u want ur pc to be, the more risk in chances of meddling with window registries which is fatal. that's the sad part about how stagnant n restricted window runs despite being a userfriendly os for years. the true solution always boil down to one only which is reformat.

I did not update the first post and a lot of changes have been done on ComboFix since then.
Like I said, CF can be a very powerful tool to use in dealing with infections as you can see for yourself. But the fact remains that depending on the kinds of malware you're getting, especially the stubborn ones may cause BSOD. I can only warn but not stopping from anybody using it. |

QUOTE(BlueWind @ Mar 11 2011, 01:19 AM) About Combofix and reasons behind So how am i going to become a train specialist in using combofix?? Combofix is intended to be used under a TRAINED MALWARE SPECIALIST because they have the knowledge on how to use Combofix properly and propose a special fix based on the log given. As powerful as it may seem, when helpers use Combofix as a tool, it often takes MORE THAN one round to properly eradicate stubborn infections which I hope this explains the powerful nature of this specialized tool. I believe we have seen enough people in LYN Tech Support forum most of the time suggest victims to run ComboFix based on their experience using it without supervision simply because they thought they had successfully disinfected the whole machine and absence of symptoms does not mean the infection is all gone. Frankly speaking, only trained specialist will only know the inner workings of CF and the way it behaves. BEAR IN MIND that using this tool will also risk of causing BOOT FAILURE on the machine rendering it useless. As described from Bleeping Computer : I have seen enough people ignorant enough to propose the use of this tool whenever there appears to be a malware problem in someone's machine. Therefore, we PLEAD everyone especially those who are untrained, DO NOT ever suggest victims to run CF and we would like to REMIND you once again that the logs generated each run from CF is solely intended use by a trained analyst. Note : Combofix is in no way affiliated with combofix.org Updated on 28/9/2011  |

now i'm not sure whether the combofix tool is maintained & updated to cope with Windows 7/Windows 8 operating systems anyone still using this fix today? --- edit: found that it works still on Windows 7 machine, but not tested on Windows 8/8.1 This post has been edited by #aten: Mar 13 2014, 06:40 PM |
