Quick clarification and a reliable workaround. The thread shows was able to create the post; renamed the topic and noted a Security-forum notice. When attachments fail (common in security subforums or for new accounts, or when certain file types are blocked), the most dependable method is to paste the entire HijackThis output into the message and preserve formatting with a code/pre block so helpers can read it without downloading files.

Steps to prepare a proper HijackThis paste:

  1. Run HijackThis, click "Scan" and use "Save log" (or "Save list to file") to create a plain-text file.
  2. Open that file in Notepad (or another text editor). Select and copy the entire contents — keep the header lines (OS, date/time, machine/user name) and every entry intact.
  3. Paste the whole log into the forum message and enclose it in a code/pre block so spacing and line breaks stay correct. Example placeholder:
[Paste the full HijackThis logfile here — entire contents, unedited]

Notes and troubleshooting: if the editor reflows or strips line breaks, use the forum’s [code] tag or a <pre> fallback if available. Do not edit or delete suspicious entries before posting; altering lines can remove diagnostic clues. If personal data must be redacted (serials, full home paths), indicate the exact redactions. If pasting is impossible, a text file inside a compressed archive or a link to a public paste service is a fallback, but privacy and forum policy should be considered first. This approach usually resolves attachment problems while giving responders the full information needed for analysis.
