why...do you know smitfraud will remove the infection ??

are there other infections as well ??

hence the need for a hijack this log so we can give the CORRECT advice

Hi wlfc1

I hope you also have respectable antivirus and firewall programs operating as well as Spybot and Adaware.

To fix your problem go here ....

...and download the program "HijackThis".

Instal it, open it and have it scan your computer. At the ends of the scan a logfile report will appear.



Hi

I downloaded and did a scan, but it won't let me copy the results ( A dialodue appears telling me that I have to register or for the free trial press continue........but nothing happens??????

I am at a loss of what to do

You must have downloaded the wrong thing then. Click one of the links next to the flags on that page or from http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/programs.php

That's odd, I clicked the same link and downloaded hijackthis.zip containing hijackthis.exe dated 16/02/2005. HJT isn't a trial version so you shouldn't have got the prompt about registering.

If I click on unzip another box comes saying " 1 file unzipped uccesfully

if I click runwinzip, then another box comes up saying "winzip is not found on your system"

grrrrr what a nightmare !!!
