Ummm. Yeah.
See, that's why there are two types of geeks in this world. Those that have "paper smarts".. Typically the ones "trained" on forums (I saw one that claimed they were a real tech, but darn it all if there was ANY proof of that in ANYTHING they actually said).. And those that actually have experience.
Experience tells us that Combofix doesn't deal well with Rustok and some similar kernel-hooked rootkits very well, if at all. We know this, because we have hands on experience. We've tried it. We deal with infections (many very serious) every day, and we get paid the big bucks because people have already taken it to the paper smarts geeks that simply either a) buggered up their PC (I watched one such "trained" geek in another forum absolutely demolish someones hard drive to the point that it wouldn't boot anymore..twice) or b) didn't do the job properly, following the "script" so that the computer was reinfected again within days.
Paper smarts tell us "it SHOULD work...that's how we were 'trained'" while a frustrated user goes "but it's STILL there!!".
Of course moving this into the Hijack This forum means that others can't help, despite the fact they may have far superior skills and experience.
Well, whatever. The instructions are there. It's up to the user to decide how to proceed.

Bash him into the ground, make jokes and call him names while he's alive...Revere him when he dies. Pathetic.
