    I have made my way all the way through the READ AND RUN ME FIRST PAGE, but I can't run bitdefender- the computer freezes during the scan each time.

    Also, I ran Panda twice, but the computer hung both times when I tried to save to results.

    Need help knowing how to proceed. I still have Hijacker issues.

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!
    Have you followed our procedures? Can you run any of the scans in safe mode?
    If you are having problems still, please attach what scan logs you can and we will take it from there.


    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:

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