Combofix by sUBs very good free anti spyware program.
But after using, you may uninstall it from your PC.
Go to to Start > Run
Type in box
combofix /uninstall
Note: the space between the X and the /u
Press Enter.
This command will:
- Delete the following:
ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
VundoFix backups, if present
The C:\Deckard folder, if present
The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present - Reset the clock settings.
- Hide file extensions, if required.
- Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
- Reset System Restore.
thanks

If you want uninstall combofix, then you should disable Avast before it.
VundoFix backups, if present – lol , but i need it now! ComboFIx helped me a lot and now i have 32 dll problems! The return of VundoFix!
After scanning with combofix my control panel icon was gone.I cant retrieve my control panel.how do i remove combofix on my pc and what to do for retrieve my control panel.
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.
Select the Last Known Good Configuration

Probably you infected with virus/trojan that blocks antivirus autoupdate and using combofix. If you need a help, ask it at our Spyware removal forum.
combofix just continously running and rebooting
what should i do? it found 3 viruses and deleted
joel, thats strange. You have tried uninstall Comnofix ?
After using combofix to remove spyware, which it did after 3 days of me trying ! Spyware doctor picks up Application.NirCmd.
Is this from combofix or is this something else, can i ignore it or can i remove it permanantly ?
Yes, nircmd is component of Combofix. You can remove it.
i used combofix and got rid of popups, and the computer got its normal speed now, same the internet connection, but i did not manually delete anything; am i supposed to or combofix does everything; then if i want to uninstal it, is it safe? what happens to the files currently in quarantine(Qoobox)
Yes.
These files will be removed.
I tryed removing it with the combofix /u and I get an error that reads somthing like windows cant find the file name. Can I just serch for the files and remove them or is there another way?
Alex, download a fresh copy of combofix to desktop.
Run it.
Once finished, try uninstall procedure again.
I tried removing with the combofix /u ,but all it does is simply run the program, not uninstall.
Dani,
1. Re-download combofix and place it to your desktop.
2. Try uninstall procedure once again. You should use next command:
space between “combofix” and “/uninstall”
Hi,
I used combofix and after tried to ‘deinstall’ it by running combofix /u but it seems like it wont set the setting back. I still see the Qoobox and programdata folders. I redownloaded teh fiel twice now and the log says:
******
ComboFix 09-11-28.04 – Bas 11/29/2009 15:15.3.2 – x86
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 6.1.7600.0.1252.1.1033.18.2046.1188 [GMT 1:00]
Running from: c:\users\Bas\Desktop\ComboFix.exe
Command switches used :: /u
****
What to do now? Thx
Please use the following command:
aha, that seems to ‘work’. I did see the messge that it is uninstalled. Altough I still see some of the hidden folders ($recycle.Bin / Diskeeper / MSOCache / Perflogs / Recovery) and one combofix folder (Programdata). The folder Qoobox did disappear.
(When I go to my folder options the settings hide protect folders is checked.)
What to try next?
These folders are ok.
Post your combofix log in our Spyware removal forum. I will check it.
Hello,
I was trying to use your command “combofix /uninstall”, but after I press Enter, it appears me a message that says:”Windows cannot find combofix /uninstall. Make sure that you typed correctly….etc”. Why can he find Combofix? I see it in C: partition, and Qoobox also.
What is the problem?
Daniel, re-download it and save to desktop.
Run, once finished, start the removal procedure once again.
Thank you! I worked fine 🙂
But, off-topic speaking, i have some blue screen errors. Where can I find out some answers regarding this?
only combofix worked on virus. it did explode the locked reovery files on d drive for one. it added an extra restore mode for the other system.
but thanks again
hi, I accidentally downloaded and ran ComboFix in a folder in C:/ which was not my desktop. How can I uninstall it because command combofix /uninstall says Windows can not find ‘combofix’. Thank you.
Charles, download a fresh copy of Combofix and save it to your desktop. Run, once finished, repeat the uninstall procedure above.
