About Combofix

I´ve been using Combofix for quite awhile and i find it a truly exceptional tool for malware removal and O.S repair... does anyone knows what engine is used in this tool and/or other details about how it works? I haven´t found many information. One thing i noticed is that Combofix uses GMER.

Thanks

 

AKAIK, it's not recommended to use it without supervision of a certified "helper". It could possibly trash a system.

 

it could fix a system or trush it

 

I've been using Combofix everyday in diferent machines from almost 1 year and i never saw it trash anything...

 

We use this tool too in our repair center. I've always found this forum too critic with ComboFix. It works great with lots of malware types. I've seen ZERO PCs gone south because of it. I'm not aware of what are the issues that many people here find in it.

Keep doing your work CF developer/s!

CF is not an engine persay but a whole heap of fix's collected together.

Some tricks it uses are too risky for mainstream applications to incorporate so hence why it is a last resort tool and should not be treated as a out of the can fixer unless under expert direction/usage.
