    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)
    If you get a message that you cant write to the hosts file then Press the SHIFT key, and whilst holding it RIGHT CLICK and select RUN AS (admin)

    Start by running Windows Updates and getting Vista SP2 and any subsequent updates.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • When trying to download Hijack, the system tool came back!

    I've read this, and another thread with interest as I also have spent much of today getting rid of the System Tool thing. Mine popped up when I was on line looking at the Indian Visa application site. I have 2 observations:1. Although my preferred browser is Opera, it was only when in desperation I tried Internet Explorer that I managed to download Anti Malware as the ST kept hijacking it (and Avast). So I'll be looking on any threads which compare browser safety now!2. I got rid of the ST by following instructions on the bleepingcomputer site (safe mode, rkill, malwarebytes software). I stopped at about stage 21 as it was talking about the host and how to change something - have to say I lost my bottle then as I'm not very confident about anything much more than 'scan and press remove'.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Hi,

    It made an apperance when I was trying to download Hijack. It's gone from my computer now (after running rkill & malwarebytes) but it no longer lets me on the internet.

    Id follow this from 22 (try removing hosts before having to use another computer to download the 'bat' file)
