SDFix is another great tool that you can use. If you love combofix, you’ll also love this one. This tool is created by AndyManchesta and it removes thousands of different types of trojans and worms.
SDFix targets those hard to remove pests which are usually bundled with other malware that antivirus and antispyware programs can’t completely fix.
You can download SDFix from any of these links: link1, link2, link3.
NOTE: SDFix will only run in Safe Mode in Windows XP and 2000. This also requires Administrator Account Privilages.
Instructions: I’m not going to provide an instruction here on my site because there’s already an easy-to-understand instruction on How to Use SDFix from bleepingcomputer. I highly suggest that you visit this site first before using SDFix.
If you want to see a list of files that this tool can remove, check out their changelog page.

Have you been infected by a malicious program? You think your computer is behaving differently and your antivirus is not telling you anything? You cannot update your antivirus because it is being blocked by something? And even if you update your antivirus, it still has an unusual behavior? Well I got the answer. Try using ComboFix.
ComboFix is a program, created by sUBs, that scans your computer for known malware, and when found, attempts to clean these infections automatically. This tool is so powerful that you are advised not to run this program without supervision. Well if you’re about to format your hard drive as your last resort in removing that annoying malware, then who needs supervision. Just run this program and you might not have to format your hard drive anyway…
This tool has saved my life a lot of times and those who I helped too. I’ve proven the effectivity of this tool many times but not all the time. It failed me once when the infection was so strong that I cannot run ComboFix effectively.
You can download ComboFix from these links:
For the complete guide in using this tool, please check their website on how to use ComboFix.
