    I did a little research on the virus and it looks like a rare virus. Other than that, I couldn't find much help. Please help me. Basically what happened was I got the virus from IM and it is a Program called "Project1" that stays as a running application every time I log off or reboot. If I try to end the task it comes back when I logoff/reboot. I'm very bad at technical computer virus removal, because I never really had anything infect my comp. Here's my HijackThis Logfile, is there anything wrong with it?

    Yeh, I ran HiJack This again, with your instrutions, and its attached now. But I still have the Project1 Virus. I didn't find much about the virus, just that it usually is sent through MSN Messenger. Please Help! I couldn't get the BitDefender or Panda Scan because my Internet Explorer is not cooperating with me because of the Project1. I seriously need some help.

    Your log shows some things that need to be dealt with. Rename hijackthis.exe to analyse.exe.

    Post a new HijackThis log.
