Hi. I need some help if anyone is willing. I have Trend Micro, keep it updated and do regular scans. The other day I got a warning that Mal_Hifrm was found. Trend cannot delete it or quarentine it. Why did I pay for Trend? I've ran ATF Cleaner and assumed that being as it looks to be an HTM kinda thing, that would solve the problem. It did for about 3 days and now it has returned (more like never went away). The machine is acting normal, nothing funky going on at all…yet. Fairly new computer, not much data on it, though I really do not want to do a re-install!! I've posted my HiJack log below if someone could be so kind as to take a look and offer a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dale
Posted this twice, sorry!
