Hi kilowat,

Please let me know how the computer is running now.
it's running great, hope you don't charge by the hour ;)
Thanks very much
it's running great,


Great to hear!

As the problems have been intermittent I would suggest that you use the computer for several hours, maybe until the end of the day and then let me know if any problems return.
Okay, any subjection ( links) on how to completely uninstall AVG and AVAST, since the uninstall in control panel didn't work
For AVG

http://www.avg.com/ww-en/utilities - choose the 32 bit version of the remover

For Avast

http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
I've only had this Comodo for a few months it has wanted to run a scan. I had left the computer on, it ran today. I don't know if i should let it run the clean, what should i do ?

Hi kilowat,

Malware@#3lxnh3a9u8gnw C:\Program Files\FREEzeFlip\bin\2.0.3.0\FREEzeFlipSAHook.dll


That is spyware, ESET also detected it earlier. It's not crucial but we can let Comodo fix it later.

The other 2 are false positives, we will remove Combofix in the next section so those will not occur again.

Now that you are clean, please follow these steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure.

Remove GMER

Delete the GMER icon from your desktop.

Uninstall ComboFix

  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK


Clean up with OTL

  • Double-click OTL.exe to start the program. This will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.
  • Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
  • On the OTL main screen, press the CleanUp! button
  • Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.


Create a new, clean System Restore point which you can use in case of future system problems:
  • Press Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >>System Tools >> System Restore
  • Select Create a restore point, then Next, type a name like All Clean then press the Create button and once it's done press Close
  • Now remove old, infected System Restore points:
  • Next click Start >> Run and type cleanmgr in the box and press OK
  • Ensure the boxes for Recycle Bin, Temporary Files and Temporary Internet Files are checked, you can choose to check other boxes if you wish but they are not required.
  • Select the More Options tab, under System Restore press Clean up... and say Yes to the prompt
  • Press OK and Yes to confirm


Update your AntiVirus Software and keep your other programs up-to-date
Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.

Security Updates for Windows, Internet Explorer & Microsoft Office
Whenever a security problem in its software is found, Microsoft will usually create a patch so that after the patch is installed, attackers can't use the vulnerability to install malicious software on your PC. Keeping up with these patches will help to prevent malicious software being installed on your PC. Ensure you are registered for Windows updates via Start > right-click on My Computer > Properties > Automatic Updates tab or visit the Microsoft Update site on a regular basis.

Now run a full AV scan with Comodo, allow it to remove any items it finds.
