Help...Another victim of winfixer2005

[Jeemy-Boy]

I will appreciate very much any tricks you can show this "old dog". I am definitely motivated to learn; out of shear frustration; believe me! Here is the log file from HijackThis...
OK... never mind that. I can't copy & paste my log file (with a .txt file extension). It looks like you guys have to give me the "browse" button permission before I can make any attachments.
I will forward my log file to my work e-mail address so that I can continue working with you guys tomorrow. Simply reply to my query through this forum; due to the fact I cannot read my "home" e-mail from my computer at work.
Thanks SpyBot folks, you are awsome !!

Hi there and thank you.

Have you tried this:

• Double click HijackThis.exe.
• Hit None Of The Above, just start the program.
• Hit Scan.
• When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
• Click that, save the log somewhere, and copy/paste the HJT log.

Before you post a log

[Jeemy-Boy]

Hi Tashi: I didn't have any problem running & creating my HighJackThis log. My problem is this... according to the "Attachment" instructions SpyBot provides; it says to select "Browse" at the bottom of the window one is in when creating a "thread" to post. But there is no "Browse" button anywhere to be found. So... how do I give you my log file?
Any chance you can reply to this msg. before I leave work at 2:45-pm PST?
Thanks again... Jim

Hi

You could post it into a reply, if the log is to large post half in one reply half in another

[Jeemy-Boy]

Looking forward to reading your words of wisdom.
Thanks again !!

Let us know if any problems persist

[Jeemy-Boy]

Lonny, thank you for your quick response. Now I can "tackle this monster" later today when I get home from work. I have a lot to do... download AdAware etc. I'll post back to the forum the results, per your instructions.
Man I'm psyched ! :dancing-c

[Jeemy-Boy]

Hello again: After running Spybot & fixing the problems, I tried to open Ad-aware to do a full scan (per your instructions). However it went "out to lunch" on me. It was trying to connect to the Ad-Aware server to look for updates. I left the computer on for 6-hours & nothing happened. I had to do an "end-task" on it before shutting down the PC.
Should I skip this step (running Ad-Aware) & go on to run Ewido?

[LonnyRJones]

Yes skip that step

Remind us/me later about that ad-aware problem if it still happens later when all cleaned up.

[Jeemy-Boy]

As you requested here are the various scan results. Also, to remind you, I tried running Ad-Aware afterwards, and once again it "went out to lunch" looking for updates. According to the Task Manager Ad-Aware was "not responding". I ended the task and continued to this reply.
Oh great! The "Manage Attachments" isn't working. This happened before. I think it only occurs when I'm using my home PC. When I'm at work the "Manage Attachments" button works fine. I will forward my scan result files to my work computer & get back to you.
Thanks again for all your help...
Jim
