    Hi, I'm new here too. I am not sure how I ask a question of my own, since it looks like you are supposed to continue with the threads that are already started. Not really all that computer saavy. I need to rid my computer of "about blank", which hijacked my internet browser.
    Welcome to the both of us

    Hi and Welcome


    Its best to start your own thread, unless answering someone elses as your question is likely to go un-noticed burried in other threads, to start a new thread of your own, This should answer your question on How To Post A New Thread Requesting Support

    But as your question is a Malware ( spyware/hijack ) one then its best to follow the below guide in which we will need you to follow and attach the requested logs to a new thread in the Malware Forum

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.


    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy - ONLY IF you were not able to run Windows Defender
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
