What is ComboFix?

ComboFix is a legitimate spyware remover. It was designed to specifically target SurfSideKick, QooLogic, and Look2Me as well as any other combination of the mentioned spyware applications. With its built-in engine that removes Vundo infections, it can also take charge of the latter but not all of them.

Aside from this, ComboFix has other built-in utilities that make it capable of unhooking any .dll file within the Windows System 32 folder. This enables the user to achieve personal access to the folder.

This ability of ComboFix allows the manual removal of spyware infections that had taken refuge inside the folder. It acts as a specialized effective cleaning tool, which has proven to be very useful compared to other malware removers that also clean up infected computers.

ComboFix also has a Command Line that allows the users to terminate up to eight files at a time. Its built-in engine for file deleting enables the user to delete other files, especially the locked hidden files instead of deleting just the infected ones.

Although ComboFix is very useful for the removal of spyware infections, it has limited functions. This is since it was only designed for specific infections, thus making it incapable of eradicating other computer viruses.

This application needs constant updates for you to have the latest protection. In fact, ComboFix should not be used on computers that have a specific rootkit because it will prompt ComboFix to delete all files from the system drive.

In using ComboFix, certain precautionary measure should always be taken. If your computer problems were caused by one of the spyware applications mentioned above, then this program can be used to get rid of your spyware infections. This is the only time that you should use ComboFix.
