    I followed the xp cleaning procedure few months back and want to do the same now. I have the following software installed as part of the previous cleanup procedure - superantispyware, spybot -search & destroy, malewarebytes, combofix and MGtools. My question is, do I need to reinstall all these softwares or can I update them to the latest signature and use them. Also, should I be using RootRepeal instead of spybot-search & destroy.

    Appreciate your help

    You need to update SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes to current program versions and database versions.

    CompboFix and MGtools should not have been kept on your PC at all. After completing our cleaning process, these should have been uninstalled. You will have to download and run the current versions.

    Yes we need the RootRepeal log too! We do not ask for you to run Spybot in our cleaning process nor do we need logs from it.
