Is having the recovery counsel installed really a MUST when running CF? I see a lot of malware experts let people run it without recovery counsel installed and it doesn't seem to mess anything up.

Also have you heard of SD Fix? That's another good app, I think. Do you like that one as well?

For anti-malware, I use AntiMalwareBytes; a new version just came out today, as a matter of fact.

When I wrote the company’s default workstation image- I put Recovery Console in- it’s quite helpful at times. Not the end of the world if you don’t have it- better if you do from a recovery perspective.

SDFix is good for certain infections. Malware Bytes I am experimenting with right now- I don’t have any significant experience with it. I saw it mentioned favorably at Spywarewarrior.com, so I DLed it.

Spywarewarrior.com’s forums by the way, are an absolute treasure trove. These are people who study malware in depth, and you’re not allowed to answer user’s questions as a volunteer unless you’ve been through their training. What it consists of I don’t recall- but I remember being suitably impressed. Good place to go if you have some kind of weird infection that’s stumping you- they’ll help (and they’re *very good*) for free.
