Combofix

Combofix is a freeware, portable application designed to scan a computer for known malware and, if found, attempt to remove it. I personally use this application very frequently in conjunction with SmitFraudFix to remove Win Antivirus 2008 and its variants. In addition to removing many different rogueware products, it also shows you a log of files that were created or modified in the last month to help you locate potential malware it didnt detect. For example, if there is a randomly named .dll file in the system32 folder that was created on the day of the infection but all other files are dated years ago when Windows was installed, its probably something to do with the virus.

This one is essential for any computer technician who does malware removal work.

RKILL

The malware world is changing. It’s getting smarter.
In fact, some infections will detect that you have launched an anti-malware tool such as MalwareBytes and close it down as soon as you open it, which makes your job much harder. This is the exact situation Rkill is designed for.

RKill is a program developed at BleepingComputer.com that was originally designed for the use in our malware removal guides. It was created so that we could have an easy to use tool that kills known processes that stop the use of our normal anti-malware applications. Simple as that. Nothing fancy. Just kill known malware processes so that anti-malware programs can do their job.
So in summary, RKill just kills processes, imports a Registry file that removes incorrect file associations and fixes policies that stop us from using certain tools. Then it kills Explorer.exe so it will restart and enable some of the Registry changes. When done, RKill will then create a log listing all processes that were terminated while the program was running. Please note that this will include processes that were terminated manually by the user as well as RKill. Other than what is listed above, it does nothing else.
