Spyware/Malware and multiple user accounts.

[slightlyhuman]

When you have a computer that has say... 5 accounts under windows. Do you need to run a cleaner or every account(ie. combofix/MBAM) or will one account clean all the other accounts as well?

It depends on the program. For MBAM, if you tell it to scan everything (Perform Full Scan), you should be fine.

This question need to be asked individually to each software you're using.

It will affect all users on that one...

Not necessarily. How many of those are admin accounts? Is User Account Control still switched on?

 

[slightlyhuman]

Generally UAC is usually on. I'm mainly referring to combofix and MBAM. What does admin have to do with it?

Thanks for the replies.
