Post #1
I posted a hijackthis log a while back, but my computer has/had been down and I was unable to check back.
I believe I may have a keylogger/spyware, and possible IP Trace, if that's possible. I run a forum, and when I check the administrator page, there is an unreckognized IP following to every forum I go to.

Regardless, some of my keystrokes are being missed and my computer is sluggish in a whole. If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'll post my Hijackthis log below. Thanks in advance!

kylebeelong ,

Welcome to the forum, please keep in mind that our helpers look for logs with Zero replies to work and by replying and bumping yourself you took your self out of that category.

Please download SmitfraudFix
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.



I need to see the smitfraud log and a new HJT log please
Post #5
Sorry about the bumping, Ken. Thanks for the response. I'll post the smitfraud first, followed by the HJT.
