Hello,


Congratulations!! Your logs look clean! :)

Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix
  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

Next

  • Click on OTL.exe
  • Click the Clean It button
  • If it tells you to reboot click Yes


Now the next list is some programs I like to recommend to people to help keep your computer safer. Keep in mind that these are all optional.

MalwareBytes Anti Malware
This is an exellent On Access Anti-Malware Scanner.

SuperAntiSpyware
This is an Anti-Spyware program that will help protect your PC with Real Time Protection. You should have one Anti-Spyware program that scans in real time. This will help prevent your PC from picking up any more malware.


TFC
This will help delete all temporary files.

Firefox
This is an alternative for Internet Explorer. Firefox is a more secure internet browser.



You should also make sure Windows is up to date. You can simply go to Start and go to Windows Update to find out. I would recommend turning on Automatic Updates.

Heres how to do it:

  • Go to Start
  • Click on the Control Panel
  • Click on Security
  • Then click on Windows update
  • Then settings to turn Windows Update On/Off


You should check and make sure that you keep your Anti-Virus up to date. This is also a crucial part of your security. You can do this by clicking on your Anti-Virus and clicking on update. If your AV has an automatic update feature, i would recommend turning it on in the settings menu.

Good luck and safe surfing :)
