    Hello guys... just wanted to check my son's computer for trouble items. He says that he's got a lot of lag lately and I told him he's probably got spyware infesting his puter again. Here's a HijackThis log.


    Logfile of HijackThis v1.98.0
    Scan saved at 10:45:32 PM, on 1/18/2005
    Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
    MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)

    Edit by chaslang: Unrequested, Inline, out of date log deleted

    Any help would be appreciated, as I'm still computer stupid... LOL
    Thanks!

    Yikes guys...... I AM SO SORRY FOR POSTING BEFORE READING THE "PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE POSTING LOGS" section. I hadn't been here since about August, and didn't even think about reading that before posting. I am so sorry!

    As you already noticed you need to do the READ ME FIRST. But your HJT version is way out of date and there are now guidelines about posting logs (see below). Also I noticed you appear to have both AVG6 and Symantec's antivirus applications running. You must have only one antivirus application installed. Pick which you prefer and uninstall the other.

    First, please follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal
    If you already have any of the programs linked in the tutorial please double check your version to make sure you have the latest one and that you have any/all updates for the programs.

    NOTE: In order to resolve the issues you are having it is very important that you at least try to perform all the steps as outlined. If you have any difficulty please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything and details about any problems you have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better.


    After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:

    Make sure you have HijackThis 1.99 and follow the guidelines on where to install it and how to post a log as an attachment. This is all covered in the sticky thread NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

    Now post a HijackThis log as an attachment to your message (Do not post the log inline). All running programs should be closed, including your web browser, e-mail. Close before running Hijack This!

    To repeat: 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. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT
