    I have been trying to work out exactly what is wrong with my computer for a long while now. Every so often, my computer tells me that my windows partition has low space... I have multiple virus and malware checkers, and none of them can find it. I have also been through hijackthis and seen nothing I think is amiss... Here it is anyway, just incase I'm missing something:


    Edit: Removed inline Hijackthis log


    I also cannot find any files which have replicated themselves, bar the annoying MSN Live files...

    I really don't want to have to wipe my harddrive again, I've lost a lot of information to that ruddy WinAntivirus, and I don't want to be defeated again!

    U can email me at halfbakedtriga
    the usual hot male com variety.

    Thanks if anyone can help...

    P.S. other simptoms inlcude:
    My start page was hijacked, and set to livesearch, and I was locked out. I've managed to change it via regedit, but I'm still locked out if I go via internet options, and was until I changed the option, locked out via tools-> internet options. It also started when I downloaded an installer (via a pop-up window, like the regular windows update pop-ups when u have it set to auto update), and when it installed, all the above started to happen -although not sure about the worm like aspects - along with the title bar of every internet explorer saying "windows live search... blah blah ...the internet, a place for porn, viruses and malware, play safe!!" which I thought was especially ironic, as it's blatently some form of malware that's done this...

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    To effectively know if malware is the cause of this, we'll need you to run the below guide and attach the logs requested, Hijackthis on its own will not show enough of your PCs status.

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
