Hijackthis is not installing properly/ running at all on PC

2 min read

This thread's last reply is from November 2, 2007, 9:18 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

Firstly, I think I have some sort of keylogger on my system. But I can't even get the Hijackthis logs to show you guys because the program is simply not running on my PC. I can download it obviously, but then when i try to install it, it apparently installing to the C drive but when it tries to run, an error pops up that says, "this application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." And re-installing it doesn't absolutely nothing.

Please help!

Hi Dave. On another topic I had the same issue and someone else started helping me already. I'm sorry if I wasted your time :(, but hopefully you can just remove this topic so that this just goes away.
