FAQ

Okay my safelist is setup.  How do I run Scrubit to remove badware?

To remove badware launch Scrubit: and click on the "Start" button. Scrubit will begin the badware behavior discovery process. A single Scrubit discovery run will take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. Scrubit will run 40 levels of filter discovery (each level is one or more tests). Scrubit will list all the items exhibiting badware behavior at the end of the discovery process.

Your options for cleaning are:
 
     A.)  Click "Cancel" to cancel the Scrubit cleanup process.
     B.)  Click "Omit" to omit highlighted items from quarantine (Scrub’d) and proceed with the cleanup.
     C.)  Click "Scrubit" to proceed directly with the badware cleanup (computer restart required).
 

To make sure mutating forms of badware (polymorphic) are totally removed we suggest running Scrubit until you get the message "No Badware Found" on the main message box screen. This may require 2 to 3 runs to catch most mutating forms of badware.  When you receive "No Badware Found" you are finished with Scrubbing your system clean.
