    single rather than the "all in one suite" might be a better way to go.

    come on you are the expert please tell me

    hi,

    i Have NOD32 Business but i am not sure is that good,
    nothing wrong with NOD32 for AV. i believe its a single component only. By suite i mean a app that is bundled as a antivirus, antimalware, firewall, anti this and that etc. a suite might be heavier on system resources.

    if all is good as a last step we can delete combofix and make a new restore point.

    hi,

    ok to remove combofix:

    start>run and type in combofix /u click ok
    note: there is a space after the x and before the u

    the how and why for a new restore point:

    One of the features of Windows ME or XP is the System Restore option, however if a malware infects a computer with this operating system it can be backed up in the System Restore folder. Therefore, clearing the restore points is a good idea after malware is removed.


    To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

    (winXP)

    1. Turn off System Restore. (deletes old possibly infected restore point)

    On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.

    Click Properties.

    Click the System Restore tab.

    Check Turn off System Restore.

    Click Apply, and then click OK.

    2. Reboot.

    3. Turn ON System Restore.(new restore points on a clean system)

    On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.

    Click Properties.

    Click the System Restore tab.

    UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.

    Click Apply, and then click OK, then reboot



    some tips for you

    happy safe surfing out there.
