    Hello gang, yesterday my desktop was hijacked by some type of malware. No pop-ups came up; it just changed my desktop background and wouldn't let me change it all. I stumbled upon this site and did all the steps in the "Read & Run Me First, before asking for support” post and it seems to have solved the problem. I’m now able to change my desktop as I want it (The read & run me post really helped!).

    However when I ran bitedefender and panda active scan it said I had malware still in my computer. Attached is my hijacked, bitedefender, and panda active scan reports. Could any of you let me know if there is any malware still on my Pc and if there is a chance they will cause problems like my previous one? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, as it already is because I think I at least fixed one of my problems, with this majorgeeks.com help.

    Here is my other attachment that was recommended to be posted by this site. For some reason the GetRunKey.bat will not show a .txt log file? I’ve done everything that I was told to do in the post. :confused: ???? Also do you recommend me to do a new System restore, as I had the problem yesterday and fixed it the same day (not sure how often my system restores it self.

    You MUST follow the directions for using GetRunKey and ShowNew exactly. That is why GetRUnKey is not producing a log and why your ShowNew log is incomplete. You MUST extract all the files from the ZIP files and you must not try to run the .bat files from inside the zip files. Only run them from a Windows Explorer window.

    Do this and attach the two logs!

    You also did not follow the directions for installing and renaming HijackThis and as stated this is very important. So go back and follow the directions in step 7 properly and then attach a new HJT log.
