oops, that supposed to say i CANT use explorer programs

Hi. First of all you need to update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Run hijackthis & go to *Config\Misc Tools\Check for update on-line*. If the site is down, go here. Remove the old version by deleting the file manually. Unzip the new version into the hijackthis folder.

Scan with hijackthis and tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows, and hit the "Fix checked" button.

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

D:\WINDOWS\System32\explorer32.exe-file

Reboot normally after doing the above, rescan with hijackthis, then post that log here please.

Please go here and have this file scanned.

It seems to be all better now, here is the newest hijack this log just in case, thank you.
