Hunting Viruses Trojans and other Malware

Super Virus or Malware hunting!

Hopefully you will be largely protected if you keep your virus checker up-to-date. However occasionally a new one will get through. This section is all about hunting them down.

The key thing to remember is that not all virus or malwear detectors will detect all the threats all the time. This means that you sometimes need to use several together. These are the ones on our list.

Combofix - Freeware and the last word in virus removal

This is the real thing! Combofix is usually only used by professionals as it requiries all your anti virus software to be uninstalled - and then of course reinstalled after the programme has run. It works at a very deep level and we have never found that it missed anything. So if you get stuck or want a clean start, backup and try this. (We will obviously not take an responsibility for any problems - but you should'nt have any provided you do exactly what it says.) Good luck
