    Having lots of troubles, computer won't shut down, lots of pop ups, won't defrag, I have a friend that helped me a little, directed me here, had me download hijackthis and spybot. I ran spybot and here is my log. They said they saw allot wrong in my log, but don't know enough and to post it here. I had no problems until I downloaded the security edition of aol. Had to get that off completely.

    Welcome to MG's,

    But please note HijackThis is not the first step and we have guidelines that we prefer to have followed on where to install and run HijackThis from and when and how to post logs - only when requested and as attachments. But prior to a HijackThis log you must run our cleanup procedures.

    To help us to best help you, please follow the steps below closely and in the order given and do not skip anything. If you have any difficulty, please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything along with details about any problems you may have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better. Don't be afraid to ask for additional help if you don't understand something!

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal 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:

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - 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 downloaded 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 message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

    Part of you problem is due to an about:blank hijacker.
