Create a directory on your hardrive to save HijackThis.exe. A directory
like c:\hijackthis. If you do not do this, you will not be able to use the
backup/restore features.
Download HijackThis from:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/hijackthis.php
Save this file into the directory you made previously and then run the
program named hijackthis.exe. When the program opens click on the Config
button, then click on the Misc Tools button, and click on the Check for
update online button. When it completes checking/applying updates press the
back button.
Now click on the Scan button and when it is finished click on the Save Log
button. A Notepad window will open with the contents of this log. Click on
Edit then click on Select all. Then click on Edit and then Click on Copy.
Register an account at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com and post this created
log into the Hijackthis Logs forum at that site. To do this, once you are

unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing as you may cause
more damage to the system
