Then, extract HijackThis from its archive and place it in its own folder - NOT on the Desktop!. This is important. A good location for HijackThis would be the following path:
C:\HijackThis
The program (HijackThis_v_1.99.1.exe) would go in the folder "HijackThis".
Follow the instructions above, run HijackThis, and make a logfile. Post that logfile in a reply.
Click "Do a scan and save a logfile". Then, after it's done, a notepad document should pop up. Copy and paste the contents of that document in a reply.
Go to the C:\HijackThis folder, click HijackThis.exe and run it.
On the new users quickstart screen, click the button that says ?do a system scan and save a logfile?
That will first display a system scan. Then a notepad document will open up right on top of the scan. In the blue bar across the top it should say HijackThis.log ? Notepad.
Click the file menu in the upper left corner of the document.
Then click save. Then close the notepad document and the HijackThis scan.
Navigate back to the C:\HijackThis folder. You should now see the HijackThis.log file in addition to the HijackThis.exe program.
Get this thread and an open reply box on your screen
Go back to the HijackThis folder, Double click the log file to open it in notepad. Start at the beginning of the document and highlight all the text by moving your mouse while holding down the left button. When the entire document is highlighted, right click and choose copy.
Then go to the AfterDawn reply window, right click, and choose paste. At that point you should have the log in the reply window for Fredil. If that still doesn?t work, post back and let us know exactly where in the process you are having the trouble.
