Geeks to Go Forums: Combofix by sUBs - Geeks to Go Forums

Combofix is a malware removal tool created by sUBs.

Combofix was never intended to be run by the average user. While it appears simple, it is a tremendously complicated tool that is updated often. Combofix also integrates malware removal tools from other developers (with permission). There is a huge, complex Combofix tutorial, but it is not publicly available (at the developer's request). If you don't have access to the Combofix tutorial, you can't properly diagnose its logs, create Combofix removal scripts, or run special directives. If not removed first, rootkits can interfere with Combofix. It can delete your files. It can leave your system unbootable unless you know how to recover files, or use the recovery console. You may think your system is clean, while it still has active infections.

Don't run Combofix unless under supervision of someone that knows how to use it. Leave it to the experts. Don't say we didn't warn you.
