Some apps I've never heard of before, like Malwarebytes, Combofix, Hijack Free etc.

 

I can't comment on Combofix, but the rest of the software on that list is well known here and widely used (SandboxIE and Returnil, how I love thee).

 

Sandboxie and returnil, GREAT tools, but not for everyone... require a little getting used to them.

Malwarebytes is a very good scanner, just look around this section of the forum, and you'll see a lot of threads regarding MBAM. Developers also are active members here at wilders.

 

summing up these three,yes you'r right top notch software,at the moment you can't get any better.
