Combofix log analyze

Welcome to Major Geeks!

If you attach all of the requested logs from the READ & RUN ME, we can help you remove all of the remaining malware that you have. However if you are going to format anyway, there is no sense in continuing.

 

Yes if done properly.


It's your choice on what approach you prefer to take. But a new install involves more than you may think. Especially to get back to a level of where your system is at. You have to consider all of the below:

• you have to backup all you own data, settings, configurations etc and first you have to know what/where all of these are. And you have to have the medium (burnable media, second hard drive, tape drive [yuck] )
• then you must make sure you have the necessary disks to reinstall not just your OS but all other software you use especially protection before going online
• then delete your partitions, recreate partitions, format, reinstall the OS
• now reinstall all your software especially protection
• get online (requires some setup and config that novices have problems with)
• download updates for OS
• download updates for protection software
• download updates for all other software
• tweak all software back the way you like it. Including Desktop settings, icons etc.
• create all the folders that you use for everything in your normally routines
• re-load from your backups to get data back, to get settings, Favorites,.....etc back
• now over the next two weeks you will realize that you forgot to backup some stuff and also you will keep finding something else that you need to reinstall.

 

If you are going to run the READ & RUN ME, make sure you perform all steps in the order written and attach the 4 requested logs when you finish.
