i cannot get into the chat room for now do this You are currently using hijackthis from a temp directory. When you do fixes with hijackthis, backups are made and these allow fixes to be reversed in case anything goes wrong. Since you are running hijackthis from a temp directory, the backups can be deleted when you empty the temp directory. Please create a permanent directory on your c: drive say c:\hijackthis and move hijackthis into that directory. Run the program from that directory from now on. More instructions for creating a permanent directory below. Hold down windows key and press e at the same time. A 'my computer' windows should pop up. Next double click on your local disk (likely to be C:) Right click in the main window(the one on the right) select new then folder. A folder will be created. Rename the folder to hijackthis. Next navigate into the directory that you ran hijackthis. Right click on the hijackthis icon and select cut. Go back into the directory that you just created right click and select paste. several of the programs you use appear to have broken links PCTools Site Guard eTrust Antivirus Realtime Server Rising Realtime Monitor Service VNC Server are these still usable ? there is still evidence of 3 anti virus programs in the log AVG Etrust avast it is best to use only 1 as they could come into conflict into one another can you also post the location of the virus that avast reports? i lost it when i got dc from the chat
