Forum Rules

When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.


If you have not received help after three days, please post a link to your topic HERE.

ComboFix downloaded from bleepingcomputer throws an NSIS error (v 11.10.1.3 and 11.9.30.5).

When downloaded from infospyware, it runs successfully, but is an older version (11.9.26.2).

OS: XP Professional
Browsers: IE8 and Firefox on a non-infected machine. Caches cleared.

The target machine has been infected with Open Cloud Security. The older version of ComboFix deleted a number of infected files including some rootkit stuff, but I am concerned that without the latest version, some components may have been missed. The Open Cloud authors have apparently been modifying their strategy, as much of the advice online refers to component names that were not present in my case.

ComboFix was downloaded on a non-infected machine and transferred via USB stick.

Error message:

Please follow the instructions in ==>Malware Removal and Log Section Preparation Guide<==.

Once the proper logs are created, then make a NEW TOPIC and post it ==>HERE<== Please include the link to this topic in your new topic and a description of your computer issues and what you have done to resolve them.

If you can produce at least some of the logs, then please create the new topic and explain what happens when you try to create the log(s) that you couldn't get. If you cannot produce any of the logs, then still post the topic and explain that you followed the Prep. Guide, were unable to create the logs, and describe what happens when you try to create the logs.

Once you have created the new topic, please reply back here with a link to the new topic.

Most importantly please be patient till you get a reply to your topic.
