Here, we (plural majestatis) of Navigaweb are very attentive to computer security. The fact is that before surfing the internet, you need to make sure that you have a working PC and above all not to ruin it by going to the wrong sites and catching viruses.
After having tasted the best antivirus, free antivirus in Italian and many other security programs especially antispyware, today we discover a program almost unique in its kind, which allows you to remove even the most difficult viruses to eliminate .
Unfortunately sometimes, despite having a protected PC and navigating with the necessary common sense, a rootkit, or a hidden virus, can penetrate the defenses and install itself on the computer.
If the antivirus does not detect it and you do not notice in time that there is an infection (if you notice it, you can use Hijackthis), it may be that, after a short time, the virus evolves and causes malfunctions that can lead even to no longer start Windows.
The procedure to be followed in cases of infections that put any security program out of use has been illustrated in the article on how to remove malware, spyware and fake antivirus viruses .
As described you must use a portable program, such as SuperAntiSpyware, which is not inhibited by the virus and then start the scan with the most powerful removal program, MalwareBytes.
In that procedure I had mentioned that in the most serious cases ComboFix must be used, a very powerful antivirus capable of removing even the most hidden infections and which works even without starting the PC.
Basically, when you have tried them all and it seems that the only way is to reformat and reinstall Windows, ComboFix saves everything .
It is an advanced anti-malware software that scans deeply to find the main types of known malware, and tries to remove them automatically .
If the removal cannot be done automatically, it creates a diagnostic report useful to a computer expert to trace the infection and remove it manually.
The use of ComboFix is recommended only for those who have a little experience in security and in the use of the Windows system.
In fact, I must absolutely point out that there are risks of ruining the system if you do not know what you are doing with ComboFix or if you use it without it being necessary.
The warning is a must, however, I can say that, if you do not change parameters and let this software work following the guided procedure, there should be no problems of any kind.
Therefore, if your computer cannot repair and repair with traditional programs, download ComboFix and, without installing it, launch it with administrator privileges.
The authors recommend saving the portable executable file to the computer, but I assure that it works well even if launched from a USB stick or an external drive.
Before starting it, disable all antivirus and antispyware that work in the background to avoid conflicts, save everything and close all programs.
Since the program starts to load and work, leave the PC still without touching anything unless Windows windows appear asking to accept the certificates.
After accepting the license, Combofix downloads the updated program to your computer and, once the download is complete, a restore point is automatically created, a backup of the registry is made and verifies that the Windows Recovery Console is installed.
If this is not present, comboFix will ask you to download and install it.
After these preliminary steps, scan for viruses begins.
During the scan, strange things may be seen on the screen and it is likely that the PC disconnects itself from the internet.
Depending on the type of malware detected, ComboFix will restart the PC and continue to scan the system before Windows loads.
The control of this powerful antivirus is meticulous and slow, done by 50 steps, so you must be patient and wait for it to complete.
In the end, a report file is generated which shows the details of the operations performed and which gives the instructions to be able to manually remove infected files which it was unable to correct on its own.
To interpret these report files you may need the assistance of an expert person or a support forum such as Bleeping computer, in English.
To my knowledge, there is no forum in Italian on ComboFix so if you want, leave a comment here and let's try to understand things together.
ComboFix is a light and excellent tool to get out of situations where the only way seems to be a complete Windows recovery.
However, it is not the only possibility for desperate situations .
Meanwhile, as I already wrote, if the PC does not start anymore, it must be resolved with the Rescue CDs .
Among these, when the PC no longer loads and the fault is a virus, it is important to know the AVG Rescue Cd .
Basically it is a mini operating system that contains the famous AVG antivirus, free of charge, so you can start your computer from the cd / dvd player.
By starting AVG Rescue CD you will have scanning tools that automatically remove viruses and correct errors.
AVG Rescue CD is available, free of charge, in two versions, an ISO to copy on a CD and a RAR file to extract on a USB stick.
To make the USB stick with AVG executable when you start your computer, you must first launch the makeboot.bat file from Windows.
If you really can't understand what the problem is and all the attempts are in vain, save all the data and try restoring Windows as described in another tutorial.
