    Hello to those who get to read this...
    I need help with an infection.. My start page was changed to jimbutt.com and it keeps opening some kind of jimbutt warning page.. also fake windows error messages..... I dont understand very much about this stuff like you all... but i have been reading other posts with the same problem and I think I could understand something..
    is that right?
    - I have to uncheck the system restoration
    - Make sure I can view hidden and system files
    - Then reboot in safe mode after downloading the Hijack This program
    - and copy the logfile and post it here attached so some good soul could help me?

    Is that right? If theres something wrong and someone could tell me .. I would be grateful !
    Thanks in advance

    HijackThis is much further down the list of things to do!

    To help us to best help you, please follow the steps below closely and in the order given and do not skip anything. 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 along with details about any problems you may have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better. Don't be afraid to ask for additional help if you don't understand something!

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal 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:

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - 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.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).
