Hello,
Now that I have implemented both a Popup and non-popup warning about the posting of HiJackThis logs, the policy of this forum will be any logs posted in disregard to this warning will be yanked. Don't respond to logs that do not follow the rules laid out on this page: http://computing.net/forums/hijack.html
Any offer of help will be pointless, as it will soon disappear. It will be a waste of your time to say anything other than, "Please run sybot and adware, and mind the rules of the site." Any other comments will just aggrivate users and make Computing.Net look bad.
To repeat, Computing.Net will not allow hijackthis logs that are not first accompanied by plain english descriptions of problems. General logs that say, "what is wrong" or "my computer is messed up, here is my log" are going to be removed.

May I be permitted to add my thoughts? One of the reasons that users report that they ran AdAware and/or SpybotS&D, but the problem is still there...is because the reference file is hopelessly out of date (and often the program version as well). With these programs fully up-to-date, and configured properly, most adware/hijacking problems should be resolved. Then, if the problem persists, a HJT log may reveal a new variant or a totally new item; a copy of the file can then be submitted to the developers of these programs. In this way, everyone can help (the user with the initial problem included) in the continuing battle to stay ahead of the "Bad Guys".
