    Did the complete scans as suggested in spyware/malware removal and wanted to post these logs to see what is not suppose to be on them. I just picked up this computer at a garage sale and the first thing I done was the scans. I don't know if the unit was acting up before I got it or anything so thats all I have for now.

    Hi

    Please do follow the guide as laid out, your Hijackthis log was not installed, renamed or run as specified, its crucial that these steps are followed not only for Hijackthis but for the other scans as well including ShowNew and GetRunKeys which need to be unziped first before running. Skipping steps will nto help remove malware but will extend the time taken to help you help us remove it together, which is the goal of this forum :)


    Our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    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.




    • When 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!
