ComboFix is a free program created by sUBs that scans your computer for known malware and attempts to clean these infections automatically. It also allows for the manual removal of spyware infections.
This is a specialized and effective cleaning tool, that offers advantages over other malware and spyware removers. In addition to removing a wide range of common and current malware, the app generates a report that can assist trained helpers in removing any malware not automatically handled by the program.
You should only run ComboFix if specifically instructed by a trained helper. Due to the tool’s powerful capabilities, it is strongly advised not to act on any information displayed by ComboFix without proper supervision, as this could potentially cause issues with your computer’s normal functionality.
