SW didnt installise because windows is shutting down

[hynesy]

I think im infected, i dont know how:s, but i keep getting an error message when i go to shutdown saying "The program SW didn't installise becasuse the windows station is shutting down". Also I have some sort of spyware called MATNET or MAGNET or MAGNAT, im not really sure.
If you need a hijackthis log, i got one ready.

If you suspect a virus/spyware problem, go HERE and follow the instructions exactly.

Post a fresh HJT log into this thread, only after doing the above.

Just have HJT fix this inactive entry.

O21 - SSODL: bestreak - {874443fe-aa33-4ebf-a6ac-73208787e62d} - (no file)

Other than that your HJT log is clean. However, I can`t see any firewall software on your system. If you don`t have any, I suggest you get some ASAP. The free Zonealarm or the free Kerio firewall programmes are very good. Just Google for them.

Thanks howard, i fixed the entry you said, I have bitdefender firewall installed, but i know bitdefender isnt known for its firewall but for its scanning engine, do you still suggest zone alarm, i had it on before a did a reformat a little while ago and was very happy with it.
cheers

If your happy with Bitdefenders firewall it`s ok.

If you do decide to install Zonealarm, be sure to disable the Bitdefender firewall.

well, would it take up alot of RAM if I had the free zone alarm and bitdefender (minus the firewall) running in the background?

[howard_hopkinso]

I`ve been running zonealarm for quite a long time and have never had any problems.

In answer to your question, try it and see what you think.

Regards Howard
