I get unstoppable popups offering to remove whatever it is that's on my computer. I've defragged and cleaned up what I could but the problem continues. Can I post my hijack this log? How do I do it?

Hi and Welcome

As you likely already know is that malware is a massive pest these days and does its level best to hide itself in any number of places, So just a Hijackthis log will not show all the malware that can be on your PC, the full guide of our steps below has a few other logs that show alot of the malware on your PC and where they are located,

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

It worked like a charm. Required a lot of patience but it worked. Thank you for all the valuable information. Very much appreciated.

Hi erika!

You're welcome! There's a danger in removing malware without having someone check your logs afterwards as the malware tends to leave a few files behind so it can get started up again. If you want to avoid this risk, attach the logs you got and one of us will look at them for you.

Thanks.
