Relative got scammed by 'Windows' cold call - how to ensure computer is safe?

Just be aware that Combofix should only be used under supervision or with the help of a qualified person!

If there had been any problems then I would have thought mbam & avast would have shown some kind of indication of that if you have already run scans.

Did she definitely use Chrome? Maybe these scammers directed her to use Internet Explorer? Have you checked its history too?

In case you skipped over this question.

Once you are sure the computer is clean, I would check out sandboxie. It's free (with the occasional nag) and it's like putting a ring of steel around all your net activities. I only ever connect through sandboxie. Best thing ever imo. :T
