Malware cleanup fun

tdsskiller.exe and combofix.exe have been the best for rootkits from what I have seen :wink:

Well, I have run them both and as far as I can tell, nothing has changed. Same situations I have been describing so far with the addition of icons (Skype, AMD Centre) missing from the toolbar for some reason.

Shane:
The one thing my repair tool does very little of is changing registry keys. When it registers files those files update their reg keys.

But when it comes to services I don't (At least for now) have it touch much. Very dangerous.

So when the system gets really screwed it is almost always in the reg. When it gets to that point the best option is a repair install, which keeps all your programs and settings.

I just made a new registry backup program that is in testing in beta. It is reasons like this that I made it :wink:

Yeah, I figured it was probably gonna come down to that. Last time I did a repair install was back on XP and I had no end of trouble with the "repaired" version. So I will probably give it a week (I have exams!) then just wipe the thing and start again. Bit of a hassel, but oh well.

Thanks for the help anyway.

Shane:
The xp repair install never worked right.

MS did a good job getting it better in Windows 7 :wink:
