    My friend gave me his old laptop and it is a distaster. I can't get KasperSky or any SpyWare detectors to run. It simply slows down to an almost halt.
    I did a HiJackThis scan and

    Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
    Scan saved at 2:08:33 AM, on 9/8/2005
    Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
    MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)

    Edit by chaslang: Unrequested inline log removed


    I dont' know where to start. I would reinstall but I can't find an English copy of windows here (in Asia) and would almost rather have all this stuff than try to interpret chinese error messages.

    Uninstall Kazaa and iMesh via Add/Remove programs and run what scanners you already have installed from safe mode. Also have HJT fix all the O1 - Hosts lines.

    There's more but you need to follow forum guidelines.

    Please read the announcement and sticky threads. HJT logs should only be posted when requested and then they must be attachments to your message. HJT must also be installed and run properly which you did not do.

    Please run the steps below.

    - 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, boot into normal mode and make sure you follow these directions:


    - 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).
