posted a HijackThis log after clicking a suspicious IM link; pointed to AIM's support article about IM-borne trojans, which is a useful symptom reference. That AIM guidance is a good start, but full remediation requires system-level triage rather than only addressing the IM client. The HJT log is valuable for diagnosis; it should be used to build a targeted cleanup plan, not as an automatic checklist to "fix" without confirmation.

Recommended triage and cleanup workflow:

  • Isolate the PC immediately (disconnect Ethernet / turn off Wi‑Fi) to stop further propagation or data exfiltration.
  • From a known-clean device, change passwords for email, IM, social sites and any financial accounts. Do not change credentials from a possibly infected computer.
  • Boot the affected machine into Safe Mode and run a current antivirus full scan plus a dedicated anti‑malware on‑demand scan (use reputable engines and up‑to‑date definitions). If scanners disagree or rootkit signs appear, run a trusted offline rescue scanner (bootable rescue media).
  • Use an autorun/startup inspector (for example, a Sysinternals tool) and the HJT log for diagnosis only. Avoid blindly using "fix" options; remove only entries that are clearly identified as malicious or instructed by an experienced remover. Post logs on reputable removal forums if expert guidance is needed.
  • Backup personal documents only after scanning them. If sensitive credentials were exposed or infection persists, plan a full OS reinstall and restore from clean backups.

Social spread note: IM‑propagating threats commonly forward themselves to contacts. Notify contacts to ignore unexpected links. After cleanup, apply OS and browser security updates and change important passwords again from a clean device. When in doubt, a clean reinstall or professional assistance is the safest option.
