All,
The intent of this string is to provide mutual support for the proper use of ComboFix & MBAM applications.
I frequently see the mistake of suggesting "Safe Mode" as a starting point for these tools and we need to do what we can to stop that recommendation.
Both products are created for "Normal Mode" operation and they are more effective when it is done so.
I fully realize that there are times when a system will only boot to Safe Mode, so obviously that is how you have to do it - in that situation.
To summarize:
The developers of both products recommend "Normal Mode" to run the programs they created. That should be the only recommendation we make on this site.
Please use this URL to guide anyone who needs it to an 'off-line' kind of discussion here - rather than clutter up an actual question.
