Yes your friends are correct this application should be used with a malware removal expert assistance and if not used properly then it can render your computer inoperable, ComboFix scans the computer and searches for malware and when it finds some malware files it deletes the data and cleans the infection automatically.

There are some Malware which are not able to be removed from this software so for this it gives a detailed report of the malware types and other descriptions by seeing this the expert can look into the problem and can cure the system.

This sounds amazing, my computer is also affected by many malware so is it suitable to use combofix for my computer? To remove all the malware and make the computer like a new brand PC?

Yes combofix is a good tool you can use to remove all the Malware but take care of the files because if some Windows system files are affected by Malware then this application will remove those files and then it will render your computer inoperable and after using this tool your computer cannot be the same like a new brand pc because it still remains the same and it can't be compared formatting the whole hard drive and re-installing the windows operating system.

If you are not so sure about using the combofix application then you can use other software like;

Malware Bytes – This is also a good software and the specialty about this software is that it asks the user before deleting a file so your important data can be saved and then after clearing all the malware you can repair your important files.

 

Super Anti-spyware – This is also a great tool to clean up viruses and spyware and this can also be used along with Malware Bytes it can make your system more secure.

 

These are really safe tools and there is less risk that your system will be crashed and the Windows system files will also be intact and can be repaired later.
