    I went through all the steps in the "read me first before asking for support" help thread, and then I was getting ready to do the generic solution when the first thing I noticed is that I think this computer is infested with almost every single hijacker line that cannot be fixed by the the generic solution. Would anyone here be able to help me out. I have gotten help before (thanks PhilliePhan and chaslang) and trust you guys. Also I dont want to call some "geek squad" and dish out too much money. Thanks for any help. I can post the log file as soon as it is requested.

    Geez! These guys from Ridgewood just don't want to spend any money! :D

    The Generic solution is only for specific forms of HSA and About:Blank hijackers. It is not for any other hijackers.

    Please follow the steps below.

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).
