NEWBIE hellooo

Hi and welcome to Majorgeeks,


I noticed you posted in an old thread on Hijackthis logs, I have removed that posts and will reply to you here in your thread,


Most people are under the very mistaken misconception that HijackThis is a malware removal tool. It is not! HijackThis is simply a tool that is used to identify browser hijackers and in some cases it will show entries for 'some' malware that is for instance running at startup. All it does is list a few of the thousands of registry keys that exist and it makes no inferences to whether anything being shown is good or bad. HijackThis does not come close to showing all malware that could be hiding on a PC. Anyone who has an infected computer and is relying on HijackThis without the benefit of running other scans such as MGTools, Spybot, BitDefender & Panda, CCleaner, etc. are more than likely still infected. In most cases, where there is one virus/trojan there are more. The goal is to remove all malware, and this cannot be done properly by just seeing a HijackThis log.

• Is it popups? if so do they have a name.
• Is your browser being re-directed to a less welcome site?
• Does your Anti-Virus software alert you to a Virus/Trojan? if so whats its name.
