Therefore, if you keep important files in those locations, you need to move them elsewhere before launching the program.
Once the program is done scanning and deleting malicious files and programs, it may or may not reboot your system, and prepare a log report. In the log, you will find a list of malware that Combofix deleted. The log will also contain information about infections it was not able to get rid of. If you are an advanced user, you can use the log to help remove malware manually. Or you may be asked to upload the log when looking for help on various malware removal forums.
