    Son downloaded some type of a program called Horizon on my laptop it has to do with xbox and I knew soon as I saw it and the programs it installed that it wasn't good. So, now after doing the read me first I need to make sure that the trojan and crap is now gone.. :)

    Rerun Hitman and have it fix everything it finds. Reboot and rescan with Hitman and attach the new log. Tell me how things are running.

    To be safe am attaching the log after the deletion of all items found as well as the log from the rerun after reboot.
    My computer is running fine. Well in the past it would run slow when boys was trying to download music from itunes to ipod or when watching videos on youtube. But the Horizon program was diownloaded Tuesday night and my boy told me yesterday morning (Wednesday) that the Chrome homepage was no longer google. That is then when I knew something had been downloaded that shouldn't have been and he told me that he downloaded Horizon Tuesday night. So, basically it is running fine as Horizon wasn't downloaded and on computer for too long. So basically need to make sure all traces are gone so nothing bad happens. If that makes sense..

    Looks good.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. You can uninstall RogueKiller and HitManPro.
    2. Go back to step 4 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. If running Vista or Win 7, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
      related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link


    Malware removal from a National Chain = $149
    Malware removal from MajorGeeks = $0
