    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Please follow 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:
    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!

    Thanks for the advice - I should have said I had followed the tutorial before posting. In the end a housemate confessed he had installed something from lop.com and then tried to help by deleting a folder or two!!! The solution was to reinstall the lop.com malware and use the uninstall hidden at the bottom of their homepage.

    :)

    Do you have any info on how to understand the hijack this reports?

    Thanks again

    HI

    This may help http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=38752 but most Hijackthis log reports and diagnosis is built up by actually learning all about malware and to do that you need to really have a tutor who is expert in malware removals or to join a malware removals team ( on one of the well known removals forums like Majorgeeks etc ) and be trained by them on what is good and bad and how to remove.

    plus this one http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/htlogtutorial.php

    Hi Halo

    Thanks for that - the Merijn site looks almost understandable for a mere mortal like me!

    the coaching model for learning such complicated material looks like a very good idea and (also a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing springs to mind) I can see after I have done some of “that thar book learning stuff” it would be something I would be interested in doing –

    long live the geeks
