Using Combofix to Remove Malware

If your computer is the victim of malware and spyware, there is a nifty little tool out there to help remove it. Combofix is a freeware program and is developed by the company sUBs. Combofix will scan your computer for known malware and some spyware and attempt to remove them. In the case Combofix is unable to remove a particular malicious file, a log report will inform you of any to remove manually once the scan finishes. Some of the most common types of spyware detected are SurfSideKick, QooLogic, and Look2Me.

Combofix can be found for free download at bleepingcomputer.com.  There are regular updates to the program to keep it current with new malware, as it is a never ending flow. Upon launching of the Combofix executable, it will detect any updates available and prompt to download.

How to use Combofix:

Disable or close all anti-spyware, anti-malware,anti-virus real-time protection you may be running on your computerDownload the latest official ComboFix, and save to your desktopClose out all software, and programs running on your computerDouble click and start Combofix.exe on your computer desktopWhen Combofix finished, it will create logs for you.

Once the program has started, you will see a series of completed steps displayed on the screen. There are 50 steps to the scanning process. Depending on how fast your system is, and how infected it may be, scanning times will vary. Usually you can count on between ten minutes and twenty minutes to complete. Once Combofix is done scanning and removing malicious files, a log report will be generated, which does take some time to complete. The log file will be saved under C:\combofix.txt. In there you can see all the files removed as well as any that may have to be manually removed.

Overall Combofix is a great freeware program which does a very good job. Be cautious when running the application, as it should only be used if there are noticeable issues with the infected machine. It is not something that should be ran on a daily basis. Combofix will attempt to create a system restore point before starting, but you just never know what could end up happening and result in a non booting system.

Telltale Game teases more Walking Dead with Vine

Telltale Games pulled the curtain back just a tiny bit on The Walking Dead today, posting a Vine of what lies beyond Season One: it looks like some guy named Vince has gone missing.


"Missing" isn't a good way to be in a zombie-plagued Georgia--assuming the next chapter sticks to TWD's favored region. Telltale's caption reads "Day 2," likely of the widespread outbreak, and Vince's picture is surrounded by other missing persons and evacuation notices.

Season 2 of The Walking Dead is set to begin this fall, but writer Gary Whitta teased in February that we'll see more of the world before then. Good luck out there, Vince.

UK Chart: Grid 2 takes pole position

Grid 2 claimed the top spot on the UK all formats all prices chart for the week ended June 1. The original game only manged to debut at No.2 five years ago, but its launch week sales were 29 per cent higher than those of Codemasters’ latest racing sequel, according to retail monitor Chart-Track.

FIFA 13 held second place, while fellow former chart-toppers Dead Island: Riptide, Far Cry 3 and Resident Evil Revelations rounded off the top five. Assassin's Creed 3 was a non-mover at No.6, followed by Metro Last Light, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and Tomb Raider.

Elsewhere, Insomniac's first multiplatform game, the EA published Fuse, just managed to scrape into the top 40 in its debut week, charting at No.37.

GfK/Chart-Track Top 10 (previous week):

Grid 2 (Codemasters) FIFA 13 (EA) Dead Island: Riptide (Deep Silver) Far Cry 3 (Ubisoft) Resident Evil: Revelations (Capcom) Assassin's Creed 3 (Ubisoft) Metro: Last Light (Deep Silver) Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (Nintendo) Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (Warner) Tomb Raider (Square Enix)

We said in our Grid 2 review: "As a whole, Grid 2 is a slick, powerful racer that's the result of a clear vision of intense, streamlined competition. It takes few risks yet scratches many itches, offering a compelling experience to fans on all sides of the racing spectrum. While some will question a few design decisions, the overall package delivers on many levels. Put simply, Grid 2 deserves your attention.”
