New Preliminary Removal Instructions - do you see any errors?

Yes! Seems clear enough. Now why are they getting this mixed up with newbie posting URLs? There is something for the newbie about 'not until after 5 posts'- what is that BD? That's' what some are getting confused with and not attaching the log. I remember seeing it when I first posted, but don't remember the wording exactly. Maybe "that's" what needs to be worded differently so the newbies don't confuse it with the logs.
 
So if everything go well, is this new New Preliminary Removal Instructions going to replace the old one??
 
I have taken your input into consideration and thus updated the existing instructions sticky. Thank you all for your feedback.
 
I suggested that as CCleaner is a bit more aggressive - ATF seems better for clean machines looking to clean up temp files - but for an infected machine that hasn't done it in a while CCleaner seems to work better in my opinion
 
Okay, thanks. I asked because I run into some who use CCleaner and have had too much deleted!
 
Their latest releases have been better - I run both programs on my test machine

You also only usually have to run it once now
 
Hey BD and Bobbye, if we're in (general) discussion

I use a small program called EndItAll
Extract, then run Setup, then run the EndItAll application
Then click on the skull heads

Then close EndItAll

Before doing anything whatsoever (ie scans, or temp files removal)
By doing this first, the suspect computer may be able to respond better to these scans too. (ie no freeze or lock ups)

Now I know you guys stick to the plan, but doing this, at least when I do this, helps considerably.
 
Okay, thanks to both of you, BD and Kim. I don't use a 'cleaner' like either, but do use Housekeeping in The Ultimate Troubleshooter. I guess for those who have the malware, it would probably be best to have them run at least one of the 'cleaners' to help with the scans!

Kim, I was saving your post, then looked for URL. Found that EndITAll is now superceded by:

Just an FYI.
