All kinds of screw ups

[BobDaHam]

So I've searched high and low and tested the limits of my ability to tinker with the inner voodoo of Windows Vista, and still no luck. So I cast myself before the technical experts in hopes of finding some salvation.

When I open the folder options to click "Show Hidden Files", click ok / apply, nothing happens. Go back, the option is unclicked as though I did nothing. I've tried changing all the default and checked values to various different numbers and probably have it screwed up worse than when I started.

I've tried AdAware, run McAfee scans, and still nothing. Attached is my HijackThis log in hopes someone else can make sense of it.

Thanks,
-Kevin

HJT looks OK!

Take the time to do Do the TechSpot 8 steps: https://www.techspot.com/community/...lware-removal-preliminary-instructions.58138/

You can do the Quick Scans and post the logs.

If you are clean the we will use some tools contained in SAS to correct your problem.
