In praise of ComboFix…

Recently I was, well my laptop was, subjected to a piece of rootkit malware (famoussearchengine.com) that intercepted Google and Bing search result clicks and took the guts of a day to resolve. This malware was particularly mischievous in that it prevented AVG from being installed, crashed Windows Defender, crashed turning on Windows Firewall and also was not detected by SpyHunter or Sophos Rootkit detector. 

Thankfully ComboFix cleaned the entire problem up after scanning for approximately an hour and removing any suspicious files.
