Hi all!

I find this video unacceptable as i like to use OTL and Aswmbr to determine the varient and then kill it down by choosing appropriate tool.

Rather there are some exceptions in cases of Zaccess varients....where repawners are involved and they need to taken out using OTL or combofix.

In some cases the system may not even boot where the use of Farbar recovery scan tool is necessary to restore the subsystem regitry value which many times most of the bootable recovery disks fail to do.

So it would be best...to make a topic in the malware removal board where people like jack can help the victims out!

Preferbly,i would avoid posting such a thing! no offense though. :rolleyes:

Well that's really differ on the ways of removal, the importance everything must be verdict of success.

On the video where the beginning its really handed by experience users as names of malicious must be familiarize and its location in order to manual delete it. And small chances as it may become a small problem once a benign file was included too due on the name and location.

Well,As said earlier many of the bootable rescue CD's and scanners fail to restore the subsystem registry key that get's infected.

Sometimes,even combofix fails to reset the key :p

So tools like farbar recovery scan tool has to be used.


So if a user first goes out scanning with different scanners and rescue CD and if he still unable to cut it he will just format and re-install.:(

Important lesson to learn: Know what are the characteristics of the infection and choose appropriate tools to cut it.
