    I have tried everything I can and even paid for no-adware and nothing has helped. A friend suggested that I find a board like this and post a hijak this logfile. So here goes. Please excuse my ignorance. Tell me what you need to know. I am getting a browser hijacker. I am working on stuff not even in my browser and ten windows will open up. I have tried three page of support from no-adware and it still happens.

    Hi

    While Hijackthis is good at highighting browser hijacks its not a scan tool or will highlight all malware on your PC, which is where the below guide comes in handy, please follow it and attach the requested logs, then the experts here will look through them and post some further removal instructions tailored to the infection on your PC, if any are found.

    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:

      • [*]runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
        [*]newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • CounterSpy - ONLY IF you were not able to run Windows Defender
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • 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!
