Hi,
You guys have helped me fix up my sons computer an it is all clean, and ready to put in his aprtment. I have hooked up my old computer and updated things and downloaded the trial version of Panda Titanium 2005.
Here is the problem:

When I try to Scan with HiJackThis a message comes up from Panda and doesn't allow me to scan. After I press the o.k., it does a scan. The Panda warning mentions:
C:\unzipped\hijackthis[1]\hijackthis.exe where the problem is located.
This happens right after Hijackthis starts scaning and the warning comes up when there is Host File redirection......The warniong tells me to go to Start, Run,
notepad"c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"....enter....find Hijackthis reports and delete........save file as "hosts" .....and reboot

I tried the last thing and couldn't find any hijackthis reports???/
Can someone please help....Iwant to eventually buy the Panda, so I'd like it to work.
Thanks
George

Hi,
I disabled Panda auto protection and no problems getting logfile, so if you could have a look and see if it's clean, please:

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
making sure all browser windows and only open program is hijack run a scan and fix it .

Member Avatar for geoss

could you explain,please......set policies?., fix it?
what happens if I just scan and check the 06 box and click on "fix it"....I am a little confused. Thanks.
George

Member Avatar for caperjack

George

It removes that line and if you set the policie it will no longer be set !!
Sometimes spyware /malware programs will set a policies to ther eadvantage ,that why its the norm for us to check with you to see if you set it or maybe you used Spy-Bot Search and Destroy to set it .if you are not sure just leave it alone for now .

Member Avatar for geoss

hI,
Still cleaning.......here is a hijackthis log from a few moments ago.........does F2 seems strange?, and any others? Thanks

i cant tell you to fix the f2 because i don't know ,i think it will be all right to leave it ,but if you want to try and fix it and see if it affect anything that would be ok as hijackthis creates backups so if you fix and something goes wrong you can restore the backup .as for the 016s' you can saftly remove any one or all as they are activex downloads and will download again when you visit that site again. i usually remove all of them just to be safe when im cleaning a customers computer .
