Trouble with a virus? Have hijackthis log.
![]() |
Thanks so much for your kind words they are really appreciated.
Hardly, we are all volunteers here.
Basically I learned what little I know at web sites like this one, several are now gone...don't know if I played a part in their demise or not, hope not
Lots of "googling" looking up various file names, etc. I love research, and love computers, who knew those two would eventually go together?
If you feel all is well there are still a couple things you need to do:
You should remove HiJackThis, you don't need it any more.
You also should uninstall combofix. It basically is a "one time" fixer. If a person is told to use it again some other time then a new copy would be needed.
* Click START then RUN
* Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"
You also need to set a new, clean Restore point.
To do this Right Click My computer.
Choose Properties
When System Properties opens choose the System Restore Tab.
Place a check mark in Shut down System Restore.
You will probably get a message telling you it will be shut down, click ok or yes.
Allow it to shut down.
Wait a moment. Then go back in and take that check mark Out so that System Restore will turn back on.
I also have one suggestion for a great and FREE program to use for security, SpywareBlaster It will protect your computer from spyware, adware, browser hijackers, and dialers, tracking cookies and it has a superior Restricted Sites portion also. It works with both IE and Firefox and one of the great things about it is that it does NOT run in the background. I wouldn't run my computer without it. Just download, install, update and enable then close the program. Manually check for updates often. Also keep MBA-M for scanning, always updating before you scan. The Quick Scan is usually sufficient unless it finds something then also do the Full System scan. It also has updates almost daily.
