uh oh, hijackthis PLEASE!!!

Hello there TSG!

My best friend discovered your site & immediately mentioned it to me.
He explained the situation with regard to hijackthis text files, & your impressive skills.
After having had a number of lengthy discussions with him about the possible 'state' of my setup, he has urged me to post mine.

PLEEASE would you take a look at it for me & suggest how i can go about sorting any potential problems.

Many thanks in advance.

Yours faithfully, Bloodybloke.

There are a couple of suspicious file in your log, but overall it doesn't look to bad.

What I suggest you do is run a couple of cleanup progs and then post a new HJT scan.

First, download Spybot S&D. Install Spybot, open it and click the Search for Updates button. When updates are found, put a check mark next to all and click the Download Updates button. Now click the Search & Destroy icon in the left pane, then the Check for problems button at the bottom of the window. When the scan completes, check all the items in RED, then click the Fix Selected Problems button.

Restart your computer

Next, download AdAware. Install the program and launch it.

First in the main window look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now and download the latest reference files.

Make sure the following settings are made and on -------ON=GREEN

From main window :Click Start then Activate in-depth scan (recommended)

Click Use custom scanning options then click Customize and have these options selected: Under Drives and Folders put a check by Scan within archives and below that under Memory and Registry put a check by all the options there.

Now click on the Tweak button in that same window. Under Scanning Engine select Unload recognized processes during scanning and under Cleaning Engine select Let windows remove files in use at next reboot

Click Proceed to save your settings.

Now to scan just click the Next button.

When the scan is finished mark everything for removal and get rid of it.(Right-click the window and choose Select All from the drop down menu and click Next)

Restart your computer.

Post a new HJT scan

 

Thanx for your quick & detailed response Raybro!

Firstly though, i have tried to install & run SPybot 3 times now. I go through the usual process of installation, checking all boxes etc... THEN, when i actually click the desktop icon to run it, it just brings up a small window & begins to search all files. It doesn't actually give me ANY choices whatsoever! Not to change settings, check for updates, nothing!!!
Have spoken to another friend about this, & he is as confused as i am!!!
It just starts scanning! Then after a few minutes when it's stopped, it just closes!
VERY strange!

 

You need to go to Advanced Mode. You can do that by going to "mode" and selecting "Advanced". Then you will be able to update.
