[QUOTE="craigwf, post: 315082, member: 31870"] Is Combofix a good solution when the OS is Windows 8.1? They specifically state at combofix.org that it is "NOT for Windows 8". I have read of many disasters when others use Combofix, the main complaint being that it automatically deletes all detections without user approval, some times leaving the user unable to boot into Windows. Additional info: The infection is in a tech newby's pc who I am trying to help. Today I am going to throw a few more tools at the problem: Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit, TDSSKiller, RKill, Hitman Pro, RogueKiller and Emsisoft Smart Scan. If those don't find the problem, I will be back later with scan logs. [/QUOTE]
