did a hijackthis scan...

my aunts comp is clearly fine, however, hijackthis recommended that i fix avast's email component along with a couple of others...essentially saying that they were dead links and weren't necessary...can someone ask me to post my log...lol...so i can get a second opinion here...im just more concerned with her having outlook protection.
thanks.

 

HJT has an issue with some 023 entries with "Unknown Owner" - It incorrectly labels them as "(file missing)" and you really should verify that before fixing those entries. We see it a lot with Avast! - often those "missing" files are in the running process list . . . .

Anyhoo, if you want to attach a log, feel free.

Thanks Phillie

 

Indeed!

Chas is correct - This is one of the drawback to automated HJT analyzers which will flag those as "safe to remove." We have a really solid HJT analyzer at my other home (IANAG) and I always warn people that it is only as good as its database - There is no substitute for a qualified human being!

BTW - Your HJT Log looks OK.

IANAG?
ok so hijackthis analyzer is not fool proof...guess you really have to know what's what inside and out?
too bad i love that analyzer lol

 

Blank has this one tapped into some solid databases: IANAG HJT Analyzer

Kodo put one together as well and it's pretty cool - Just too hard to keep up the database.

Still not a substitute for qualified human being.

ahhh nice...i might have to join that site
i always used merijn's hijackthis site analyzer.
...i dont want to get hooked on another board when i really like this one

 

This is a good forum! Plenty of knowledgeable people on hand here.

But, as far as Online HJT analyzers go, Blank's is pretty darn good!

not doubting this forum AT all...it's very good, but i think im more addicted to forums and what not lol
