1. If you have not already done so download and install HijackThis from TomCoyote:
http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10379544.html
This is how HijackThis looks when first opened:
1. Click the button labeled Do a system scan and save a logfile.2. HijackThis will quickly scan your system, and then open two new windows. The results of the HijackThis scan, and hijackthis.log in Notepad. Save hijackthis.log. By default it will be saved to C:\HijackThis, or you can chose “Save As…”, and save to another location.
If you’re receiving help online, hijackthis.log contains the info that’s required to receive analysis and assistance. It’s usually posted with your first topic on a forum, along with a description of your problem(s). Highlight the entire contents. Copy and paste the contents into your post. DO NOT fix anything. Wait for help.Ex forum ambassador
