First, create a folder for HijackThis in the root folder of your hard drive

example

C:/HJT
C/hijackthis

and put hijack this into that folder

Please do this. Click here to download Hijack This. Save it to its own folder (not temporary files or the desktop).
Close all open windows and open HIJACK THIS. Click Scan . When the scan is finished (it only takes a second), the scan button will change toSave Log. Click onSave Log and save it to NotePad. Copy the entire log and paste it here.

DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET , most items that appear in the log are harmless or even needed. Wait for someone to analyze the scan and advise
