    Hi all.

    I have read the first thread about what to do before posting a hijack log, but I am posting a log for a friend who live about 300 miles from me, and so the time difference makes it difficult to communicate easily with him.

    The problem he is having is that it seems like his browser has been hijacked and each time he opens up his browser, it redirects to a poker site. If he tries to change the address in the browser, then it just closes.
    It has also placed a 'PartyPoker' icon on the desktop.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    And we may be even further away from you then that. It does not look to me like all steps of the sticky thread have been follow. Note that Party Poker is something that people install and use themselves. I don't know why they use it, but they do.

    Please read the announcement and sticky threads. HJT logs should only be posted when requested. Also HijackThis must be properly installed and run only when all browsers have been closed. Please run the steps below.

    - 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, boot into normal mode and make sure you follow these directions:


    - 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).
