ComboFix Crashes

This is a note to self:

When Combofix crashes on or before stage1 or stage2 a Trojan.Vundo and/or a Rootkit is present in system32 and is terminating the combofix process causing a crash dump.

Workaround:

  1. Install and Run Spyware Doctor with Antivirus and configure it to scan for rootkits. Register Spyware Doctor and then run a full scan. Fix anything it finds.
  2. Run a rootkit detection with GMER for a second opinion.
  3. Re-Run the latest version of ComboFix in regular mode.
