    Detection rate isn't as high as I had hoped. But, this, run in combination with Malwarebytes and SAS (and then followed up with CF if necessary) really just made my life easier - my malware computer throughput just increased twofold!

    As for running an .exe file while infected, you don't have to do it in Safe Mode, or use RKILL, KILLBOX or any other type extra, just simply rename the .exe file to a .com file and run it like normal!
    (i.e. programname.EXE to programname.COM) Windows will run it like it's an executable file (because it is!)

    CyberDoc999 thought you where a pro ? run it in safe mode. If a virus still runs at start up you must kill it google Rkill & FixNCR.reg & fix.inf --- these tools will allow a exe file to run after a viris has disabled any type of .exe file to run

    I would prefer a real computer that I can actually play some games on. Even people who write viruses don’t care about Macs.
