[QUOTE="Deleted member 21043, post: 363285"] As mentioned in this article: When someone uses AdwCleaner they will most likely know if something like Web Of Trust or LastPass should be checked. Nonetheless, even if the user did let AdwCleaner clean it, they could just redownload and reinstall them after fixing their system. But yes, I will edit the thread and mention the desktop. Cheers. ;) EDIT: I understand the members concern about Combofix, and after thinking about it I then decided that yes, it would be a bad idea to make the thread - it would take more than a thread to learn how to properly use it. It would require proper training, otherwise you may one day damage your system using it after thinking you should use it based on the knowledge you'd been given. For anyone interested in learning how to use the tools MRE use, look into getting UNITE certification (going through the training process first of course). That is just a suggestion. What do I think? I think that if you want to help clean malware from an infected machine for someone, you do not require UNITE. The developers at Antivirus companies before UNITE existed managed just fine to develop the cleaning capabilities which were good back in those days. So why can't people learn without UNITE now using the tools offered to them currently? However, I should note that back in those days the engineers at Antivirus companies would have been very experienced and knew what they were doing. However, what I will say is there is a lot more to cleaning malware infections than you think. UNITE will teach you a lot and help you get there, but it isn't impossible to do it without them. Anyway, for this reason I shall not make a Combofix thread... But just bear the above in mind. ;) [/QUOTE]
