    Hi I came across this site last night when I was trying to remove Smithfraud C and Virtumodne. I went to the page the new users should use to put all of the new programs on to their system. I did that and I think it worked, but I didn't know if I should still put up the logs from the tests to just show the results. Sorry if this is the inapropriate place to put this, if so I am sorry. There were two other things that I was wondering. 1. Should I keep all of them running in the quick launch screen in the bottom right and how often should I run full scans for all of them. 2. When I installed Registry Machine I got an error it said

    (C:/windows system32/mscomctl.ocx
    Delete failed code 32.
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process)

    But that was before it was fixed, at least I believe that combofix the last thing I did, fixed it.

    Once again I wanted to say thanks, the site was very helpful. All the resources are great and very well explained. And once again sorry for the questions and thanks in advanced for the responses, have a good day.

    Glad things are working for you.


    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    Enjoy
