lakais88 Posted January 24, 2013 ID:638705 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hello all, new to this forum. I clean viruses on a day to day basis but occasionally run across some that I am not able to resolve. Wanted to see if there are any tools that I may be lacking in my arsenal or any recommendations you guys have.I usually use Malwarebytes, TDSSkiller, and as a last resort Combofix to clean computers. When trying to access an infected machine on the network, I use pstools to find the rogue process and kill it.I've come across a few infections that cause website redirection and none of the tools above were able to fix. What are additional tools that I could try or that you may recommend?Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted January 24, 2013 ID:638730 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hello and There are many tools that get used for the removal of viruses and malware. Many of these tools can damage a system if not used correctly. I think your best course of action is to seek training in the removal of malware. Below are some of the training schools available.Training SchoolsUnited => United Network of Instructors and Trained EliminatorsThe following are websites who host training facilities. The mission of these facilities is to teach normal people how to become malware fighters (in random order).Geeks to GoBleeping ComputerSpywareHammerMalware RemovalWhat the TechTech Support ForumHijackThis.nlClube do HardwareSpyware Info ForumSecurity-X Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakais88 Posted January 24, 2013 Author ID:638772 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I've ran HIJackThis before but never knew how to read the data displayed so I never removed much with it. Looks like I have some studying to do this weekend. Thanks for the info! I'll take a look and if I have any questions I'll be back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakais88 Posted January 24, 2013 Author ID:638806 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I haven't took a look at the sites yet, but are those actual on site training courses. Are they free? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted January 24, 2013 ID:638813 Share Posted January 24, 2013 They are online courses, and most if not all are free (but if I am wrong someone will swing by and correct me). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
