Introduction
Originally created by sUBs, ComboFix is an anti-malware application especially designed for administrators and the most advanced PC users. While ComboFix needs some expertise from its users, it’s capable of detecting and removing threats other kinds of software can’t deal with. If you’re looking for a “no-frills” solution to your malware problemas, ComboFix is one of the best options out there.
Features
ComboFix is a simple but powerful application focused on advanced anti-malware and anti-spyware protection, detection, and removal. It's one of the few applications capable of locating and removing “combinations” of different threats, which are often missed by other anti-malware applications that are easier to navigate and operate.
ComboFix’s in-depth computer scan is capable of locating deeply-rooted malware buried in Windows’ files; most of the time the app will remove all of these threats during that same scan with its auto-clean feature. When that’s not possible, the application will generate a detailed comprehensive log file for advanced users and administrators. With this report, it’s easy to manually remove any remaining threats in the system, and that’s where this software gets ahead of its competition.
ComboFix was created to deal with known malware and spyware (SurfSideKick, QooLogic, Look2Me, and any combinations of them) and remove all threats, but there’s a catch. Most users should only use Combofix under the supervision of an advanced user or system administrator. The graphic interface is non-existent and you’ll have to deal with lines of code to make this beast work properly. While most users will find this completely obnoxious, the fact that it can deal with malware other software can’t even detect makes this one really useful in situations when nothing else seems to work.
The ComboFix website even states that anyone could delete important files with this application if it’s being misused, making your computer unbootable in some cases; beginners and even intermediate users should treat this piece of software cautiously and only under supervision of a more advanced user.
Cost
While ComboFix is completely free, which is great for users who don’t want to spend lots of money and still get access to reliable anti-malware tools, it’s not compatible with Windows 8/10 versions. This has proven to be extremely frustrating for some people, especially the ones who’ve been using the tool since its beginnings.
The vast majority of users want to take full advantage of this software without having to give up their brand new operating systems; there are ways to circumvent this limitation, though, some of them are even specified in the ComboFix website. There’s no excuse anymore; if you need a solid anti-malware solution for an emergency situation, this simple application could save your life at any given time.
Conclusion
In the end, ComboFix is meant to be the last resort when your regular anti-malware application won’t solve your problems. If you’ve already tried your cookie-cutter anti-malware solutions and nothing seems to work, take out the big guns, call a techy friend, and try out ComboFix; if that doesn’t work, it might be the right time for a fresh Windows re-install.
