[QUOTE="Amelith Nargothrond, post: 615144, member: 60405"] By security apps i mean antivirus software with realtime protection. This step is needed because many (or most) of them will detect Combofix as malware and will interfere with it. This is a false positive. Combofix is everything BUT malware, it is a tool to fix your PC. [LIST=1] [*]You could just simply try to disable the realtime protection of your antivirus ()AV and hope it won't get blocked; in this case Combofix will alert you that you have an AV app that is running and might interfere with it [*]If it gets stopped by an AV, uninstall the AV and run Combofix again; please note that if the AV interferes at all with Combofix, it might leave behind some folders it creates and possibly will fail to run next time; the best option is to first uninstall the AV, run Combofix, then reinstall the AV [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
