Post #1
I do frequent scans with updated versions of Spybot, Ad-Aware and Microsoft Antispyware. I also have AVG running. I just want to make sure there is nothing that I am missing because I occasionally get messages that a site is trying to add itself to the list of trusted internet sites. Please could someone check my Hijackthis log for me as I don't know what to look for?

Thanks

Lets do a scan and se if there is anyhting hiding

Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Then please run Ewido, and run a full scan. Save the logfile from the scan.

Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.
