Well gang I'm having trouble removing this from my computer. As you know, I'm having a bit of trouble getting this off my computer. Running spybot didn't remove it. A-squared didn't remove it. Mbam didn't remove it.
So, you guys might know how to completely kill it.
Hi prototrash
Click here (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe) to download HJTInstall.exe
Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
Click on Install.
It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Huh, an unusual error. I get get "cannot create log file" when I run this, and now, when I do attempt to run spybot, I get a "you need to be administrator to remove" messages. Well, as you can guess, I am the computer administrator, even checked so earlier, and yup, the settings in that regard hadn't been changed at all.
Please then rename HijackThis.exe and try again.

force of habit using Mediafire instead of forum upload.
We will continue with ComboFix.exe. Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool:

When finished, it will produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply along with a fresh HijackThis log.
