Hey Conrail,

Im looking at your Hijackthis Log now

Bertha
Hi Conrail,

Welcome to MR Forums,

Firstly I need you to update to SP1 see here - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp1/default.mspx

This is important as it will cover the patches in Windows for you making you less vulnerable to Junk

Please DO NOT INSTALL SP2 YET


Once Done do as follows:

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT. You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C:
then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.

Now Reboot, and post a new Hijackthis Log back here

Bertha
thanks Bertha, unfortunately I am having trouble creatinng the file you asked me to do, when I click on My Computer or try Windows key+e or any desktop icon, the desktop clears for a decond, returns but wont open anything
your help has been much apreciated Bertha but I am getting nowhere, I am unable to access the log or anything else for that matter so going to cut my loses and reformat and reinstall, hopefully that will clear everything for a fresh start, norton, adaware or spybot failed to stop this problem, can't access the start menu or search to look for the log file
Did you try updating tp SP1?

If you wish to reformat then thats fine, However if we can get over this hurdle then I can help you

Bertha
I did install sp1 but the problem is that I cannot access anything, currently using another pc to write this, everytime I click on any icon or the start button the icons all dissapear for a second then return, then I cannot even click on anything for a while, the display background stays the same and the mouse pointer moves but that is all, cannot even access search to look for the hijack program to run another log file, I give up at 1am this morning and been back at it since 4:45am, wish I knew how to swear, sorry, trying to add humour to stop myself screaming. I have not started formatting yet, I will give it another try to get a new log file.
Hey Conrail,

If you can post a new Logfile that would be good :D

Bertha
Hows the new HJT Log coming along :lol:
