Hi,
I was here the other day with a browser hijack problem. I got it fixed and thanks to the help I received here got a lot of information that allowed me to update my security settings and software. However, it apparently wasn't enough because I have gotten a nasty trojan that has made my PC nearly impossible to use. Please help! I have run AVG and it will NOT remove this thing. I don't know what to do.
Can you believe I've gone 6 years and only gotten a virus on this computer one other time? Now I've had two major problems in the same week. 2004 is shaping up to be a great year. NOT.
Anyway Thanks In Advance,
KimHere's the HJ log:
