View Full Version : malware/virus won't let me run HijackThisIns
I followed the instructions for "before you post," and got to the installation of the HijackThisIns tool. I think the rootkit virus is preventing the program from running, as nothing happens when i click on the icon. Is there anything I can do?
When I ran the rootalyzer it found ACL elements. i don't know how to proceed.
Any advise?
Hi,
Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here (http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/dds) or here (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.scr) or here (http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/dds).
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
DDS.txt
Attach.txt
Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.
Download GMER (http://www.gmer.net) here by clicking download exe -button and then saving it your desktop:
Double-click .exe that you downloaded
Click rootkit-tab and then scan.
Don't check

Ug, after much agonizing, I have decided to reinstall my operating system. Thank you so much for your advice, though.
Ok. Thanks for letting us know :)
