  • I will working on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.

  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.

  • Continue to follow the prompts from there.
  • At the final dialogue box, check the box to the left of "Launch Hijackthis" and then click Finish
  • When HijackThis has started, click on Do a system scan and save a log file
  • When Notepad opens, click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is NOT ticked. If it is then click on it to UNtick it.
