_________________________________
Welcome to the Forums.

The fixes we will use are specific to your problems and should only be used for this issue on this machine.

Please only use this topic to reply to. Do not start another thread.
If any other issues arise let me know.
The process is not instant.
Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine is clear.
Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
So lets do this to the end!


  • Save and quit any work your doing before beginning the fix.
  • All hijackthis logs I ask for should be done in normal mode ( not safe mode)
  • These logs should be done last after you have followed my instructions in the previous post.
  • DO NOT be installing new programs while you run Hijackthis.
  • If I do not hear from you in 5 days from my last post this topic will be closed.


Please if you decide to seek help at another forum let us know. There is a shortage of helpers and tying 2 of us up is a waste of time.
If you have any questions about any advice given here please STOP and ask!





______________________________
Open HJT

this time click on
Misc tools section

then:
Open uninstall Manager
click on save list.
Post that for me.


_________________________________

Tell me why you think you have malware as your log looks OK to me.

Bob I sent you a message in the HJT section and because it was closed I sent it a p.m. only because I did not know this was open to send the message to. I am obviously causing confusion so I'll leave for a while and try to be more accurate whenever I return to the good folks at What the Tech. I really am sorry if I did something wrong. MY other message will explain all. Please do not waste time on my log; I did not know what all this entailed when i tried to learn about HJT. Hope you catch up.

Can I assume that you do not have a problem or ,malware on your computer ? That you just want to learn about it ? :popcorn:

You haven't done anything wrong. I may have gotten a bit confused myself. :blush:
I closed the other topic only because you didn't have a HJT log in it as you do here. Within this forum ( HijackThis™ Logs and Infections Removal ) at WTT we help people remove malware /viruses and the like if they think they have some on their machine.
If you want to learn how to help others as we do and use HJT we do have a school here where we teach people to help.
Have a look here to see if you are interested.

Hi Bob You are right that my pc has no problem and I am always trying to learn a little more as I can. I am elderly compounded by serious health/pain/medication issues so each day is played 'by ear'. The pc is a wonderful source of enjoyment. If circumstances were different it would be an awesome opportunity to learn and help others . However, I would not be reliable and you need someone you can count on. Thank you so much for considering me. I love to visit forums and pick up a trick here and there and you should know this What the Tech forum is the best. Helpers are polite, friendly and proficient and stick with you until the issue is resolved. I can't imagine how many people you have to work with to resolve their issues and how time consuming it must be. You must enoy sharing your skills. Hats off to you and thanx for the reply.

Ok GrampyPete and thanks for the kind words. If things ever change for please feel free to try out the school. I will be closing this topic now as per our standard S.O.P/ Feel free to ask questions any time. Take care and be well. Bob4.
