I don't think there is a single tool that can remove all the viruses or detect all but a combination of all of them provide the best combo.

i mean you can remove most of infections with that is best one for you..
Thats what I am trying to say mate we don't need to remove most infections but we need to remove all of them and thats the reason why a combination is used.

i think you are ri8....title changed
I am sorry, but what is the point of this thread?
There is no 'best' tool. All tools have different purposes.
One tool is not enough to completely get rid of all the infections. Hence, HJT Helpers and other trained experts use a variety of tools to clean a PC.

Anyways, since you asked about a combination, commonly used tools are OTL, Malwarebytes, ESET, Combofix, DSS. There are more but these are the ones which came out first in my mind.

HJT is outdated now and has a lot of limitations. Hence, its not longer the most preferred tool to help in malware removal.
Tools have specific tasks to do and there is no best one...

point is "which tools combination do you preferred most for malware removal??"
Most of these tools are recommend on the forums for expert use only, although I'd have to go with OTL.
In my views, I don't waste my time with system scanners or any tools of that nature.

Rather than spending hours on end trying to remove malicious content, I just re-Install Windows and 2 hours later at the max, drivers Inclusive, I'm up and running again.

That is true. I mean each tool has a different purpose. I would have to go with OTL.

if the infection is normal then it was removed with some simple steps....like just one scanning with malwarebytes...so why should format computer????

I thought you would have given a nice reply but formatting the PC from your side is quite disgusting. 😵

It's not disgusting at all. It's pretty logical. Read what he said.

Not everyone wants to spend hours scanning their PC and posting and fixing.

If it gets solved by AV and MBAM - great. But, most infections are more serious in nature.
