How long does it take ComboFix to run?? Started by Angela , Apr 17 PM. Please log in to reply. Posted 17 April - PM Combo fix has been running for over 3 hours so far. All I have showing is the black box that says Attempting to create a System Restore point. After that came up, it did give me the message about needing to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console. I clicked yes almost 3 hours ago. That message went away after I clicked yes and there has been no further change or messages since then.
It never said that the Recovery Console was successfully installed and it has not moved on to scanning for infected files. I ran several other anti-rootkit softwares and all of them reported clean slate and no sign of active infection. Also, the laptop behaves normally again. I'll just keep an eye on any abnormal symptom for a while, since these rootkit Trojans can hide in nasty places before they reactivate themselves.
Thanks for the offer and your great work. Do you have time to do this? Or you will see more information like below if a problem is found: Found non-standard or infected MBR. Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit: Either way, just choose to exit the program at this point since we want to see only the scan results to begin with. To be sure to remove ALL, you need to get a strategy together. Which type to attack first, to enable continuing without crashing.
COM Chaslang has a really good set of web pages, that give a priority lesson for your attack mode. Save the pages 4?
Try the free version. It seemed to finish all its phases normally and then rebooted. Upon reboot, it has been running for several hours flashing blank blue screens at various positions. How many hours should I let it run before I know that it is in a loop?
I think this behavior should be documented or else some more meaningful information should be displayed during this reboot phase. I received quick initial response from Bleeping Computer instructing me what to run but now that it is in a loop for several hours, I have no response yet from bleeping computer. Rarst williambuell Hours definitely sounds like too long. I am not sure those blue screens come from Combofix, boot issues after malware cleanup are usually caused by removal of infected files that were involved in boot process.
Wait wait wait I am starting the average pc user is somewhat like a retarded monkey. And back to the beggining, since when simple plain text is "dangerous"??? Brad I have been using ComboFix for years now and it is the only program that really works. I used to waste hours and hours running several other AV programs and cleaning tools, but now I just run ComboFix and get the job done right the first time.
I have never run into any problems in years and I have used it maybe times on differant PC's. John williambuell Stick with Bleeping, CF has about 50 processes. When infected files are removed, all sorts of problems arise. Rarst gabriel If command line was perfect interface we would never move on from it. I don't see anyone forcing or suggesting you to do so.
Sandeep Combo Fix - Last resort? I am a trained professional if something goes wrong. I usually have backup of data files and can restore the system if needed. I do see point of having it as a last resort.
In case, something goes wrong, average user will have no idea how to restore their computer. Before using combo fix I used to pull my hairs out. But eversince, I just seatback relax and let combofix do the work. I have tried both local administrator account and a cached network login account, neither allow me administrator credentials.
I could always boot and nuke, but really want to know what I am dealing with. Anyone have any advice for me? I take it that you have already tried starting in safe mode and running ComboFix there.
Have you tried seeing if your account is still listed as part of the local Administrators' group? I verified that the local administrator was still an administrator by using the lusrmgr. No dice. ComboFix is not licensed for personal use and should only be used under the guidance of someone who has been trained with the utility. I have been using ComboFix for over 4 years. This is the first time I have experienced this issue. I second martin - try Malwarebytes.
