Please run HijackThis only after the above steps have been completed

Download HijackThis.
Double-click on the installer you just downloaded.
Click on the "Install" button to install.
It will by default install to the directory - C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis
Please do not change the default install location.
Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.

Close HijackThis and rename it.
Go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.exe
Right click on HijackThis.exe and select Rename
Type in crusty.exe and press enter.

Next click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button.
HijackThis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
In the top left of the notepad window click "File" > "Save As" name it hijackthis and then save it to the Desktop.
Please save the log as a text (.txt) file or .log
In your post, add the log as an Attachment
 
I'm working on it. my download speed on here had slowed to 0.2 kbps so its taking a while. but i'll let ya know as soon as its done.
 
I tried to run the installer but I got a message saying that its corrupted or incomplete. probably because of the virus, which according to the avast site is an exe infector. anything else i can do ?
 
ok im not sure if this worked when i tried to include the log as an attachment. but this is what the hijack this program gave me when i ran it.
 
All of these programs are lightweight, they don't actually install. They run right from the desktop. So downloading them should be no problem.

=====

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune. ATF Cleaner.exe This program does not require an installation. The executable actually runs the program.

We will use ATF Cleaner in a minute.

=====

Download ViewpointKiller

* Unzip the program and all of the contents of ViewpointKiller.zip to a location such as your desktop.
* Double click the ViewpointKiller icon to run ViewpointKiller.exe. Select the "File" menu, and select "Check to see if you have Viewpoint installed".
* If ViewpointKiller indicates that any of the Viewpoint variants are installed, select the proper "Kill" option in the File menu.

Follow the prompts and instructions very carefully, answering "Yes" or "No" depending on which option you are most comfortable with. The MsConfig instructions are very important, so be sure to read them carefully.

* When ViewpointKiller is done a log will be shown. Please save the log and add that log as an attachment in the next post.

Note: When done with ViewpointKiller, simply right click and delete all files that were unzipped.
