    I was sent an IM through MSN Live with a link that I thought was from a friend. So like an idiot I clicked on it. I'm sure now that I have downloaded a virus. A friend recommended I download Hijack This and ask for help deciphering the List. I don't know alot about computers so I was very overwhelmed when I saw the scan results. I have no idea what it all means. Can someone help me figure out if this list has any viruses on it? Thanks

    Hi ladythib!
    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST and attach the requested logs with your next post. Unfortunately, HijackThis is not adequate by itself to find out what we need to know to help you. Please make sure your computer is in normal startup mode, as described in the READ ME instructions.

    Thanks.
