Hi FwF,

Even better would be if those that are into malware cleansing here, would be offered a slightly more extended manual than offered here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix
And I wonder why this could not be offered in the place intended for it , which is the evangelist’s.

Essexboy, oldman, mauserme etc. could give an exposé there to educate us how exactly to work combofix, sdfix, hijackthis etc. to our mutual benefit. And I also have some additional instruction up on my sleeves to share with others.
I can understand your remark fully, but it is a fact that there is malware around at the moment that cannot be cleansed from computers by scanners alone, it can be done manually, but that is not everybody’s thing.
That general cleansing should be performed before individual help is offered goes without saying, it s normal standard procedure, as far as I am aware. Also the victim should be given advice in general what to do to prevent a further or re-infection (updates, latest Sun Java version, appropriate cleansing programs, and a warning against pseudos and rogue programs),
