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

    After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:


    • 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).

    Hey,thanks for getting back to me. I went down the list, and somewhere down the road... I got rid of the orbit explorer and also got rid of a ezula bug it was in in a online services folder for pc internet. Sorry for posting before I had done everything in your sticky :eek: I was jusy alittle aggrevated at the time. Are you familar with xupitor (sp?) that is supposedly where the bug orginated some type of active X or add-on to internet explorer browser Anyways Im on my way to Google and try to fiqure out where this thing might have originated from.Thanks again this is a great site.
