• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Can't run hijackthis

I followed the directions in the "BEFORE you POST" thread:

HJT Logs

1. Click here to download Trend Micro HJTInstall.exe
2. Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
3. Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
4. By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
5. Click on Install.
6. It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.

Then, I had problems:
7. Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis. (It did not launch. I double clicked on the icon and got a pop up that is titled ERROR. Application not found)

How do I get started in fixing the problem if I can't run Hijackthis to get a log file to post?
 
I do still need help, but I have gotten a bit further with my problem. A few moments ago, I tried to open up Microsoft Word, and I got the same error message that I have been getting when I try to open HJT (Error: Application Not Found). I realized that the problem isn't only with HJT so I did this:

I went to dougknox.com
In the left hand column, clicked WinXP fixes
Then in the list that came up, clicked File Association Fixes
Then in the next list, clicked EXE File Association Fix.

This allows me to open programs including HJT. Here is the log file:

hi,

looks ok. If all is good: note that malwarebytes must be updated manually and a scan started manually. Its good practice to keep it updated by checking every few days even if you dont scan at that time.

Last, some tips to help you remain malware free.

10 Tips for Reducing/Preventing Your Risk To Malware:

In special order

1) It is essential to keep your OS,(Windows) browser (IE, FireFox) and other software up to date to "patch" vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Visit Windows Update frequently or use the auto-update feature. Staying updated is also necessary for web based applications like Java, Adobe Flash/Reader, QuickTime etc. Check there version status here.

2) Know what you are installing to your computer. Alot of software can come bundled with unwanted add-ons, like adware, toolbars and malware. Do not install any files from ads, popups or random links. Do not fall for fake warnings about virus and trojans being found on your computer and your then prompted to install software to remedy this. See also the signs that you may have malware on your computer.

3) Install and keep updated: one antivirus and two or three anti-malware applications. If not updated they will soon be worthless. If either of these frequently find malware then its time to *review your computer habits*.

4) Refrain from clicking on links or attachments via E-Mail, IM, IRC, Chat Rooms, Blogs or Social Networking Sites, no matter how tempting or legitimate the message may seem.

5) Do not click on ads/pop ups or offers from websites requesting that you need to install software to your computer--*for any reason*. Use the Alt+F4 keys to close the window.

6) Don't click on offers to "scan" your computer. Install ActiveX Objects with care. Do you trust the website?

7) Set up and use limited (non-privileged) accounts for everyday use, rather than administrator accounts. Limited accounts can help prevent *malware from installing and lessen its potential impact.*

8) Install and understand the *limitations* of a software firewall.

9) A tool for automatically hardening and securing Internet Explorer 8.0. Requires site registration for downloading. Changes some of the default settings of IE 8.0, Read the FAQ's.

10) Warez, cracks etc are very popular for carrying all kinds of malware payloads. Using them will cause you all kinds of problems. If you download/install files via p2p networks, then you are also much more likely to encounter malicious code in a downloaded file. Do you really trust the source of the file? Do you really need another malware source?

Happy Safe Surfing.
