Yeah. Combofix is supposed to be "heavy duty", as they say. I only used it once but I know it works and works well, and I honestly like the bare-bones interface, which the developers amusingly use to try and scare away novices.
They also take pains to inform that it absolutely will not work on Windows 8.1 or 10, and probably never will. Too bad, but I guess there are alternatives. Did you try running in safe mode? I think there are command line switches so you can get a report from the programme without autocleaning anything first, and read it with your JAWS, just to be on the safe side. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lenny McHugh Sent: October 27, 2017 11:50 PM To: JFW List Subject: [JAWS-Users] combofix no longer works I had to download the newest version. No matter what I tried I could not get it to work. Probably tomorrow reluctantly I will call Microsoft. The problem has been getting worse or as I like to say worser! If I go down a list of my documents or a list of files in a folder or drive I quite often get a message that my documents or drive letter is not responding. I had this quite a few years ago and combofix was the only thing that I could use to correct the problem. I first learned about combofix about 10 years ago. Something got into my computer and I.E. kept taking me to a porn site. I had the eset folks trying to remove whatever caused the problem. Finally he gave me the download link for combofix and it correct I.E. That has since been my go to tool for problems that virus and malware scans could not correct.It finally got to me when I could not totally read my document list. I need one and can not remember what it was named. Gee, give me back my old Burroughs 6700 or IBM 3090 main frame systems. --- Please visit my web page It's motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990 For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
