Hi there I have a problem with Popcorn.net I have downloaded Hijack this to a new folder in the C: drive, but it will not open when I double click on it. Is there something that I have done wrong. Please help me Thanks
Hi, I've just tried downloading it from these links but still nothing happens. When I try to start the program, a box flashes up but disappears straight away. Please advise
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.
:)

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall
Here is the log from combofix How does it look? :( Kieran McLean - 06-09-28 20:06:11.35 Service Pack 2 ComboFix 06.09.28 - Running from: "C:\Documents and Settings\Kieran McLean\Desktop"

Copy and paste the contents of the quote box below into notepad.

Save it as file name: "fixme.reg" (not including the quotes). Save as file type: *All files* and save it on your Desktop.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"evolsux"=-
"Internet"=-
"License Manager"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Internet"=-


Then, locate fixme.reg on your desktop and it.

You will receive a prompt similar to: "Do you wish to merge the information into the registry?".

Answer 'Yes' and wait for a message to appear similar to "Merged Successfully".

Reboot.

Can you make/post a HijackThis! log now?
:unsure:
When I try to do this process, it comes up with an error message "The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor." Am I doing something wrong?
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "evolsux"=- "Internet"=- "License Manager"=- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "Internet"=- Is this wrong?
Its Windows XP. Also, I don't know if this makes a difference, but you said to save it under "all files", but there wasn't this option in notepad. No I still can't run Hijack this :(
Download Killbox from here:

Killbox.zip © Option^Explicit

Unzip it, but don't run it yet.

Copy the file names in the quote box below to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing
C (hold the key down, then press C):

c:\windows\evolsux.exe
C:\windows\system32\drivers\helpsys\internet.exe
C:\Program Files\License_Manager\license_manager.exe


CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Killbox.

In Killbox select "Delete on Reboot".

Click File (in the upper left of Killbox), and choose "Paste from Clipboard".

Click the red dot with the white X in it, in the upper right of Killbox, then click "Yes", and "Yes" again.

After the reboot, try to run HijackThis!.
