    Hello...

    I ran all of the recommended steps of the Malware Removal Guide. It was very helpful and I was able to be rid of most of the things that were causing me trouble. Thank goodness my computer is running much faster! BUT, everytime I tried to install HijackThis, my computer recognized a virus (on McAfee) called Win32/generic.worm!p2p. It would automatically delete Hijack This and therefore I could not run it. I read several of the other porum posts regarding this problem but I could not get anywhere. Any suggestions? I also have the scan reports from Bit Defender, Runkey, and Shownew if anyone wants to see them. Thanks!

    I am trying to attach the scan reports, but everytime I click on "browse," nothing happens. It won't allow me to search for the files???

    You are way out of date with your McAfee updates. Install the current updates. If you cannot install the updates because you subscription has expired, either renew it or uninstall McAfee and use another antivirus. That report from McAfee is wrong!

    If the report from McAfee is your only problem, we don't need any logs since it is not a malware problem. It just due to the fact that your software is out of date.

    Thank you. That makes sense. I am not subscribed. I uninstalled it after I read a similar post and now I am using AVG which did not give me any problems.
