Avast! 4 Home Edition is a full-featured antivirus package designed
exclusively for home users and non-commercial use. Both of these
conditions should be met! Our company offers the Home Edition free
of charge, since, in our opinion, it is possible to avoid global virus
spreading by efficient prevention; however, many users are not able to
or do not want to pay for antivirus software.

ComboFix

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe

ComboFix is a program, created by sUBs, that scans your computer for
known malware, and when found, attempts to clean these infections
automatically. In addition to being able to remove a large amount of
the most common and current malware, ComboFix also displays a log when
it is finished that contains a great deal of information that an
experienced helper can use to diagnose, retrieve samples of, and
remove infections that are not automatically removed.

Due to the power of this tool it is strongly advised that you do not
attempt to act upon any of the information displayed by ComboFix
without supervision from someone who has been properly trained. If you
do so, it may lead to problems with the normal functionality of your
computer. Instead you should use this guide to download and run
ComboFix and then post the resulting log in a forum that contains
helpers who understand how to diagnose them. These helpers will then
help you clean your computer of infections so that it is running
properly again.

Please note that this guide is the only authorized guide for the use
of ComboFix and cannot be copied without permissions from
BleepingComputer.com and sUBs. It is also understood that the use of
ComboFix is done at your own risk.
