information to work with at one time, we suggest you print these
instructions so that you can make sure you have done everything. Save
it in Notepad or Wordpad for easy reference later.
You think your computer has been hijacked or infected with malware
such as trojans, viruses and spyware. As such, you have opted to
download and use HijackThis [HJT] to post a log. What kind of log you
ask? A log created by the HJT tool that lists the many places on your
computer that spyware and malware are known to target.
Before posting your HijackThis log, we will have you run several
malware removal programs and a system cleanup utility.HJT is not a
stand-alone cleaning tool and it will not scan your entire system. As
such, it is extremely important to use the full system scanning tools
we recommend before fixing anything with HJT. These automatic
detection and removal programs address a broad spectrum of malware
including adware, spyware, trojans, worms, viruses, and browser
hijackers. We also advise you to run a system cleaning utility
intended to improve your computer's overall performance and remove any
infected files which may be hiding in your temporary folders.
This new preliminary scanning procedure will provide a dual benefit:
Your computer will benefit from the thorough cleaning it provides. We
in return, will benefit from being presented with a cleaner system
profile containing only those infections which the automatic removal
programs failed to erradicate.
It is possible that you may not even need to post a HijackThis log
after completing the scans we suggest. If you are satisfied with your
computer's performance, and feel your system is no longer infected,
then you may decide to take that option. However, if you still feel
that your system is infected or hijacked after completing the entire
malware removal process, then we will be happy to have you post a log
on the HijackThis forum.
Your compliance with this precleaning requirement, will allow the
HijackThis staff to clean your infected machine much more efficiently.
The resultant time savings will enable us to attend to a greater
number of logs in a shorter period of time, thereby benefiting
everyone involved.
Please follow all directions carefully.
Now we move on to the Securing Your Computer: Overview page.
