    Open windows explorer (double click my computer or hold windows key on keyboard and press E)

    Tool -> folder options-> view tab:

    Check "Show hidden files and folders"
    Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"

    Then come back here and try to attach the log
  14. midnightxstar Newcomer, in training

    I know this is a dumb question, but where is Preferences?
  15. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    A lot of programs have Preferences in them, what are you trying to do?
  16. midnightxstar Newcomer, in training

    i'm trying to upload the sas log
  17. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    Once you open the log save it to your desktop so it will be easy to find

    After the above you will see this screen click on the Statistics/Logs tab then double click the log to open

    here you go...
  19. Blind Dragon TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,048

    This should get most of it, the rest should be able to be cleared up through Hijackthis.

    CFScript

    Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the code box below into it:
    NOTE* make sure to only highlight and copy what is inside the quote box nothing out side of it.
    Also ..

    Pay particular attention to this :-

    Make sure the word File:: is on the first line of the text file you save (no blank line above it, & no space in front of it)
    Save this as CFScript.txt

    Then drag the CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below.

    [IMG]

    This will start ComboFix again. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply together with a fresh HJT log.
