Look at this search for more details ......

Check to ensure all your programs are genuine then update them all (including a visit to Windows Updates to update the operating system).


Uninstall/remove Antiwpa and kill off the HJT entry thus .....

> open HJT again,
> click "scan",
> put a tick/check mark in the box to the left of that 020 entry,
> close ALL open broswer windows - including this one,
> click on Fix Checked* at the foot of the HJT window.


Once you have done that download/install & scan your computer with MBAM. Follow the instructions I gave to sarabear in post #217 above.


You are using an out of date version of HJT. Download Trend Micro HijackThis 2.0.2 here ……

http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en...HJTInstall.exe
  • Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
  • Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
  • Click on Install.
  • It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
  • Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" and Paste the entire contents of the log (no attachments) into your next post.

DO NOT use the ”AnalyseThis” button. Its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.

DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything else yet. Most of what HJT lists will be harmless or even required by your Operating System. Someone will guide you on what to do next.


Post a fresh HJT log with an update on how the computer is operating after that.
Thanks Oddjob!

I'll do as you said and come back with a fresh log file. Thanks again for your help.
