    Not really sure about that one, probably wouldnt hurt to send me a HJT log just to make sure you dont have any other baddies.



    • Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT
    • Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file.
    • Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.
    • Run HijackThis and save your log file.
    • Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

    I have to ask ... why as for a HJT log at a stage when, the posters thread could mean anything?


    Bat.Man what OS version are you using and please tell us exactly were this "extract all files" was located?


    without narrowing the problem down, I would be thinking that if in a folder you right click a zip file you are give the choice to extract all.... and this is normal, similar to pic below
