    Why?

    Are you aware of the fact that many Malware Removal Fora require
    GMER     Log Files to be submitted right away (together with MBAM Log Files)?

    Yes, I am aware of that. I removed it from the removal process because TDSSKiller and Hitman Pro are both used. Also, because it is not user friendly, since you have to know how to interpret the results.

    If you notice, I did not remove it from the guide. I moved it the "Further Help" section. Take a look. ;)

    I suggest that you include the new Avast "aswMBR rootkit scanner" in your Malware Removal Guide for Windows.
