Post #1
Can someone lead me through the fix I need to remove this monster from my system? I ran Hijackthis, :( but forgot to do it in safe mode. It took me over 4 hours to be able just to make this post! I'd love to have a really dull chipped up knife, iodine, ants, a rope, and the private parts of the :rant: waste of a life that wrote "tagasaurus" and "target saver".! :rant2: I do believe in Karma, I do believe in Karma, I do believe in Karma, I do, I do, I do. (But I'd rather run my Car..ahh.. right up his :oops: )
Here's the log, if it can be used.

Download combofix.exe from the link below:

Combofix.exe

Save it to your desktop.

Run it.

When finished, it will produce a log for you.

Post that log in your next reply, along with a new HijackThis! log.
:)

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall
