I am in the process of trying to clean all the crap off of my computer and have recently discovered that there is a lot of spyware that spybot doesn't seem to get rid of. I decided to give hijackthis a try, and know that posting the log here should get some helpful responses. If anyone is willing to take a look at it and help me out, I will post the log. I would during this post, but I do not want to disobey the rule about posting hijackthis logfiles.Any help offered is greatly appriciated, thanks.

Tiff, It usually helps to first run adaware se, spybot and an up-to-date antivirus from Safe Mode before posting the HT log. But if not possible go ahead and post your log. ---jabuck

B4 you criticize a bigger man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away, and you have his shoes.

Paste your results into Hi-Jack This analyzer

and DON'T delete anything that you're not sure of. Do a google search on the ones you don't understand. Also make sure to make a folder on C drive before deleting anything so you have some recourse if you delete the wrong stuff.
