Hijack this log file in regard to the P2P worm jazz...

[xXxMMxXx]

I hope I'm doing this right...o.o

Just so you all know, I probably got this worm from Limewire...it kept on restarting by itself and then after I uninstalled it, I couldn't open my task manager. I don't know if there's anything else wrong with it yet, if something comes up, I'll let you know...

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Go and have a good read of this thread and it`s links.

Before posting your HJT log, please read this. Download and run the antispyware tools mentioned.
