    I hope this is not a really stupid question, but I'm learning this as I go. I am having some issues with some rather nasty ad ware and hijacking (I think). I am in the process of starting to clean off my machine, and am planning on following your instructions prior to posting my hijack this log. My question though is this...I have spy sweeper, symantec, CW shredder, EWIDO, and hijack this already installed. Should I still then install the following tools that you recommend?

    Ad-aware, CCleaner, Microsoft windows AntiSpyware, Microsoft Windows Malicious software removal tool, Spybot, and Kill2me (the last one was optional).


    Thanks so much,
    ~April~

    If you have Spy Sweeper and Ewido purchased then just update and run a scan with them and remove found infections. If you do not then follow our steps on how to install, run and attach the logs.

    All of the other steps in the READ ME should be followed including the tools.

    WOW that was a fast response...it took what 30 seconds? You're the best :D

    That's my way of saying thank you, I'm off to DL some tools and do some cleaning... I'm sure I'll be posting some logs later...wish me luck!
