Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

I'll post 3 link to the newest version:

Links to Hijack This! v 1.99.1:

Hijack This! at tools.radiosplace.com

Hijack This! at spywarewarrior.com

Hijack This! at TomCoyote.org

Try this:

1. on one of the above links.

2. Choose "Save target as"

3. In the dialogue box that pops-up, change "hijackthis.exe" so something like "friday.exe". Then click "Save"

If that won't work, try renaming your old one to friday.exe before putting it on the CD.

Let me know how things progress.
:)

Well.. Gee… :scratch:

Nothing bad in there.

Is that "good news" or "bad news"? :unsure:

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?"

Download/install IE-Spyad

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings at Qualsys.com

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.

Well, it's bad news, because using this method, I still cannot download new version of HJT… when I try from many sites, mc affe comes up to say it's a worm, this applies to many download sites. thanks tho joal

I have updated, and tired and removed trojan hunter, did house call, had one problem, but the page went blank…… any hope to get rid of this? joal
Post #8

any hope to get rid of this?

Not quite sure what you want to "get rid of". The log has no malware in it.

Read the 1st article in News and Updates.

I can give you links to free online virus scans:

Trend-Micro Housecall

Panda Activescan

Etrust Security Advisor

Choose "fix" or "clean".

Let them remove any infections found. Reboot after each scan.

And links on how to configure Spybot and Adaware:

Configure Adaware

Configure Spybot

Reboot after running each program.

Unless one of these programs/scans actually finds something it can't remove, I'd say you're "good to go"

If they find something they can't remove, please post in here and I'll help you remove it.

right, nothing shows on the old HJT, but it probably would on the new one , which I can't download. It is interesting, that even with mc afee disabled, the warning came up, that mc afee detected a worm. also that using the same CD with HJT, on this computer, the one I am using currently, but it does on my old PC. Thanks for responding joal
