Nikos' Config

[Plexx]

Ill use the both until a potential problem apperas.
Also want to check who will popup and alert me first for something malicious, my bet is on CFW.
If i was forced to use just one i would go of course with CFW & D+.

I have them both enabled nothing happened so far.

It his highly recommended not to run 2 separate firewall programs.

From what I remember, Panda's firewall was rather silent. On my tests it automatically denied connections by infections. I had to actually check because at no stage I really saw a pop up.

Nikos, disable Panda firewall if you want a more solid firewall. Disable Comodo if you want to give Panda's a try.

And remember: always test combos on virtual machine before attempting on your host machine.

 

[Nikos]

Okey, i have didabled Pandas FW.

Would there be a problem if both Firewalls run at the same time?

It's never a good idea to run two software firewalls.

Just because you may not see any problems while you are running two of them does not mean they aren't conflicting.

I run ComboFix just to see how it works and it have deleted the following files.

c:\windows\system32\Packet.dll
c:\windows\system32\wpcap.dll

Was those viruses?

 

[Nikos]

This is its log file and also it has left l;ots of files in 'C:\' which dont allow me to delete.

How can i completely uninstall it?

 

[Deleted member 178]

those are WinPcap files, do you use Wireshark or other network packet capture soft?

 

[Nikos]

No just Network Watcher but I don't think these were its files since its working ok without them.

 

[Deleted member 178]

WinPcap is a driver for those kind of softwares,

 

[Nikos]

But I didn't install any of them perhaps Comodo firewall was using it?

 

[Deleted member 178]

i dont think so, surely one software that you used.

 

[Nikos]

Also is there a way to delete any system services previously left by removed applications like freemake video capturing service? i want to ahve on services only services that they are used by active applications not leftovers by previously un-installed apps.

Is there a way to do that?

 

[Plexx]

WinDump also uses wincap drivers.

Are you sure you haven't installed any of those products?

check the leftovers drivers first since majority is related to the drivers, despite not having the application anymore.

I have a thread about that. http://malwaretips.com/Thread-Letfover-devices

Make sure when you view the drivers, you view the hidden ones as well etc.

Does Comodo Dragon have a built-in spell checker at all?

I not only want to disable them but also completely uninstall them.

Removing the driver and most cases service is removed...

Check thread and see recommendations. My initial question was based on CMD command...

 

[Deleted member 178]

Run -> regedit , then go to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services

found the service you want to remove, right click delete.

be sure to do a backup of the registry in case of mistake

 

[Nikos]

Thanks Umbra!

 

[Plexx]

Removing services without checking if there are drivers leftovers ain't too good of an idea still. Some services might not look like they are dependent on anything when they can be...

Backup the actual system prior to do any changes.

 

[Nikos]

Thanks, any idea how to completely remove ComboFix's leftovers in my hard drive?

especially 2 folders which wont let me delete.
