Well, you won't get much help with hijackthis logs in this forum. You may try the Security forum for that. As far as a ping command is concerned, it is very easy.

1) open a command prompt window....

In order to walk you through the steps to fix it, one would first have to know what is going wrong. My guess is that it has something to do with that godawful broadband connection you have, but I...

You can delete this file, it is the virus.

Start by scanning your computer for spyware and viruses. Follow the beginning instructions in the Security forum and if you've been infected, post your follow up questions there. You description is a...

You're getting it from both ends aren't you? ;) According to Alc6379 CWShredder has been updated to clean this. Try it. But You're going to need to kill that other trojan.

Go to the security forum and read the Sticky Readme at the top of the page about bridge.dll. It's part of a spyware program that is probably only half removed. The link there should help you to...

First read the Read Me above by CatWeazel about helping yourself. You'll probably be able to remove it yourself with AdAware or Spybot. If you still need help the Mods here are really helpful so come...

So, on to my problem, or rather the solution to my problem. I will post here so others...

Hi,
I've been fighting this about:blank searchx since Sunday:evil: . Scanned with Ad-aware, Spybot, CWShredder and pulled the rest of the creepy stuff I could recognize with HJT. Everything seems...

OK, there was no floppy in this PC (Thanks to Sony, Ugh) so I put on D and hoped. Everything went ok, here's the new log. Thanks.

Hi,
I had a machine badly infected with hijacks and a worm. Running anti virus, and Ad-Aware the machine is running ok, but it was so infected, I believe there may still be some junk in here. I'd...
