MUST READ before posting HijackThis Logs!
Folks:
Over the past little while, we've seen this rash of HijackThis logs being posted on this site. It's a wonderful tool that helps diagnose issues with your computer, but there are a couple of things that must be kept in mind before randomly posting it on the forum.
1) Tell us why you are running Hijack This. It is very unproductive to have us guess why you are posting your log in the first place. If you have a virus, let us know what the virus was, if you got spyware, tell us what it was.
2) Tell us what you have done before posting your logs. And it would be nice if you did something before someone suggests that you do what you should have done in the first place. Run an online virus scan like Housecall, run a spyware/adware scan like Spybot S&D, AdAware. As much as we would like to help you, you have to first learn to help yourself.
3) Help us help you by making our job easier. It is ridiculous to run your logger while you have a million other programs running in the background. The more unnecessary lines you make someone parse through, the more likely it is that the person will miss something important. Either take the time to shut down everything or run it as soon as you perform a reboot.
I hope that with these methods you will find help faster on these forums.
Cheers
