    While looking for a webcam site, I found one that apparently was a convenient location to drop the pum.hijack.startmenu malware on my computer. I found it with Malware Bytes, eradicated it with TDSSKiller, and fixed entries with Rogue Killer. The computer works fine, but when I ran HijackThis, the attached showed "file missing" entries. I'd like some guidance as to what needs to be restored and what can be ignored or edited. Thanks.

    HJT doesn't read Win7 very well, so you can just ignore those entries.

    Thanks, Tim. I feel better having seen this, half-expecting something else to make its odious presence known.

    Hi, Tim. Well, guess what? That sucker (PUM.Hijack.Startmenu) was still in there. Got a grown up to go through my system remotely and she found it. Looks good again. Again, thanks for your help.
