I've run HiJackThis, now what?

Hi. My IT guy at work suggested I do this to see if any of you amazing computer gurus can help me interpret my HiJackThis report.

I've obviously downloaded something disguised as an Active X control that keeps throwing up extra windows with search sites on them. They are things like clck2.quicklook.com, search-ebay.com, find-fm.com etc. etc. I've been able to remove the SpyCrush 3.2 successfully but am bewildered about this other stuff.

Could you? Would you? Oh that someone would look at my report and help me out!

I work all day but should be able to check for any posts. If my report looks really really bad, tell me the truth. I haven't had any other system problems, just these persistent search windows popping up while I am online.

Thanks,

Rosser in Washington

• Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around..

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifWhen you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:

• CounterSpy
• AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
• Bitdefender - from step 6
• Panda Scan - from step 6
• runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
• newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
• HijackThis

NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
