How to remove WZSRVR32.EXE malware from system using Comodo Cleaning Essentials?

You can either choose to remove WZSRVR32.EXE and other malwares using Comodo Antivirus, or Comodo Cleaning Essentials (CCE) – both of which are absolutely free to download!

To remove malwares using CCE, take the following steps:

1. Check the system requirements and download the feature-rich CCE suite for free.
