Re: [JAWS-Users] ComboFix Documentation
That's what kind of bothers me about combofix. I guess if it was a last resort for an infested computer, but I don't trust a lot of places that offer software and then want the machine opened up. - Original Message - From: Mike B. mb69ma...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 10:09 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] ComboFix Documentation Hi Lenny, Thank you very much for the heads up on turning my anti-virus program off.

Re: [JAWS-Users] ComboFix Documentation
It appears legit, but you're not supposed to have any other programs running when you run combofix. Another option might be RKill which is made by BleepingComputer.com. It closes known malware processes, which then allows you to try to clean your computer with your normal antimalware and antivirus solutions. RKill doesn't delete the program, so immediately after you run it, you need to try to clean your computer; if you re-boot the process will start running again if the malware hasn't been removed. - Original Message - From: Lenny McHugh lmch...@verizon.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 8:09 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] ComboFix Documentation I really have no documentation.

I normally close everything that I can. -Original Message- From: Mike B.

A few years ago I had an interesting problem and my antivirus software support could not identify the problem. They had me download and run combo fix then send them the report that was generated. I since have used it several times but first did a backup of my system. I left it do it's thing and all was well. The problem that I first had was that a registry element was modified. No virus just something got in and changed it while I was on a web page. I still would like to smack that lad around. I think it may also have come from a porn spammer. I reported him to his internet provider. They told him who reported. I soon got an email that said bomb the lmchugh. -Original Message- From: Mike B.

It is a real bear to find anything about it. What I did find is that it should not be used by inexperienced computer users would like to know more about it before installing it. All help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for any info you can provide. Take care.

Then run defrag. I just did that on a friend's computer. She had it for a few years and never used those utilities. I removed about 1.5 gigs and that took over an hour and about 6 hours for the defrag. The system ran significiently faster. The next time I get there I want to go through add remove programs and see if there is anything that she no longer uses.I would then proceed to ccleaner or something like that, I personally like combofix. -Original Message- From: Gerald Levy Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 4:14 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] my clean pc Scam, scam, scam! Don't waste your time or money with any so-called cleaning programs advertised on TV or radio. They are more likely to infect your PC with malware than to fix any problems. Use a reliable utility like CCleaner, Glary Utilities or Advanced System Care, all of which are free, to clean up your computer. If none of these programs improve your computer's performance, then you may have a hardware problem that may require the services of a qualified technician. If your computer is running hot, I recommend installing a utility like Core Temp or Speed Fan to monitor the CPU temperature. If the temperature consistently approaches about 60 degrees Celsius, then you may have a serious overheating problem which may be adversely affecting your computer's performance.

I heard TV advertisements about a diagnostic tool to fix PC issues call my clean pc. www.mycleanpc.com I downloaded and ran the tool and according to the diagnostic tool my PC had something like 5000 issues. The diagnostic tool is free but if you want to fix the problems it found it cost $19.95 for a one year subscription. Has anybody tried this tool and if you did were you happy with the tools performance?
