Make sure you have the LATEST version of HJT (currently v2.0.2) from HERE.

The above link will download the HijackThis installer. Run the HijackThis Installer and it will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe. It will also automatically open HJT, close it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Open the C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis folder in program files. Rename the Hijackthis.exe file to Crusty.exe. This is because some malware can hide from HijackThis.exe. Right click the HijackThis.exe file and choose rename. Click in the title box and press the delete key to clear what`s there, type Crusty.exe and press the enter key. Right click the Crusty.exe file and choose send to desktop(create shortcut).

Under no circumstances should you add any items to the HJT ignore list.

Run HijackThis.
Click on Do a system scan and save a logfile.
Save the log to wherever you want. You can now attach your HJT log without having to rename it as a .txt file.

ONLY Hijackthis logs which are posted as an ATTACHMENT with a .TXT or .log extension will be considered!
Any copy-and-pasted logs will be IGNORED and/or REMOVED, as they make for too much clutter in the thread.

Do NOT attach MS-Word .DOC files either, they will NOT be looked at! (Viruses love .doc files)
If you don't like this idea, you are advised to seek help somewhere else!

Please, do NOT post your log in someone else's thread!
Start your OWN THREAD, it's easier for everyone!

Also, post HJT-logs ONLY in the Virus & Malware removal Forum, unless asked to do otherwise.
