Hi.
I have found out I have an infection on my pc. I was suspiscious when I saw that my AVG antivirous progam was not updating and neither was windows update. I scanned the pc with windows live onecare safety scanner and it picked up a trojan and a few other items which I couldn't read quick enough. The scanner's fix tool became disabled and the page changed before I could read all that was found.I also could not navagate to any antivirus websites as I kept being re-directed to non relevant sites.

I since rebooted in safe mode and was able to download hijackthis. I did a scan and saved a log file. Should I post it here?

I appreciate all the help I can get as this PC is what I use for my business.

Thanks
