Hijack this help

Unread postby magpie_67 » January 18th, 2009, 10:31 pm

Hello

I would appreciate some assistance with my pc which is running Windows XP.

Over the past week I have had the following problems:

AVG ( free ) wont update
Internet is slow
Google searches redirecting
More data being sent than received

I have downloaded hijack this in anticipation of using this forum for assistance and it would not run/install. I have just restarted the computer in safe mode in an attempt to run hijack this however this still doesn't work.

Can anyone assist me please. Once I can get hijack this to work I can post the results here to get further help.

Many thanks

We understand that you are having difficulty running certain programs, including HijackThis. However, in order for us to help you it is necessary that you provide us with a HijackThis log, and it is possible you may be able to trick the malware into letting you do this. First, download HijackThis to a clean computer, then rename it from HijackThis.exe to any other name you want, using an .exe extension, for example... YourLastName.exe. Once you have done that, burn it to a CD (preferable to using a flash drive that may easily become infected) then transfer the renamed file to the infected computer and run a scan, then start a new topic and include your HijackThis log.

Please follow the guideline at the link below to start a new topic and post your HijackThis log. If you are unable to create and post a HijackThis log, then your only option may be to reformat your computer and reinstall the operating system.

This topic is now closed. Please start a new topic by following the HijackThis Guideline posted here, just be certain to rename HijackThis: >Guideline for posting your HijackThis log<
