i have 3 pc's on a network (should i make anouther thread for the other hijack this logs or post them here?), all are running slow, this is my first hijack this log from my brothers pc, which appers to be the worst afected. this pc has items coming up on windows defender which it cannot remove… which is: C2.Lop it comes up with an error message when it try to remove it "windows defender encountered an error:0x80501001. one or more actions could not be compleated successfully"
also, we have wireless connection, and upto a couple of weeks ago it was working fine, now it doesnt seem to be sending to my brothers room very well, is this a hardware probolem or linked with everything elce?

Welcome to the forum :wavey:

Please make a PERMANANT folder for Hijack This!

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT. MOVE (drag-and-drop) HijackThis into this folder.

If required a tutorial is here = Hijackthis Folder Tutorial

After making a folder for it, and moving it there, rename HijackThis.exe to cloud.exe

Reboot.

Run it and post a new log file into this thread.

I'm not seeing any LOP in the log.

Is it being found in files, or registry entries?
:unsure:

We can handle all your PC's in this one thread if you wish.

I may not be much help on the wireless connection problem, but I'm "fair to middlin'" on getting rid of the malware….
:) :thumbup:
