New Poly Win32 virus
I keep getting a message that my computer has detected a "NewPoly Win 32" virus. In which case I delete it. But, this keeps happening every 1-2 minutes that I am on my computer. Over and over. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

you must create a separate folder and place it there.... people commonly use C:\HJT. Note: Please do *NOT* use a TEMP (temporary) folder, *NOR* your DESKTOP, as HJT will be generating log files and backup files in the folder from which it is run... you risk accidentally losing these if you use a TEMP folder, and you will generate extreme clutter if you use your DESKTOP.
The file above comes as a compressed .ZIP file... you have to UNzip it (hopefully, you have an UNzip utility built into your Windows Explorer. If for any reason, you're unable to UNzip it, you can download the already-unzipped .EXE file from http://downloads.malwareremoval.com/HijackThis.exe )
After Unzipping, double click on HiJackThis.EXE
Click on Do a System Scan and Save a LogFile
This will automatically open NotePad
Copy the entire file from NotePad: EDIT/SelectAll, EDIT/Copy
Then go to the new forum dedicated for HiJack This logs (**NOT** back here), and PASTE the results there:
http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board?board.id=si_hijack
Be sure to include a detailed description of any problems/errors/warnings you are encountering.
Hopefully, one of the HJT experts will get to it as quickly as possible.
POST SCRIPT: It has come to my attention that many people are unfamiliar with how to create the recommended sub-directory/folder C:\HJT ;

ss77:
the information you followed was about 2 years old... you need to use the latest version of HJT, 2.0.2 ;
make sure your log is "formatted" (it should appear as several distinct lines, not one big "jumble" ) ;
and it needs to be posted in the HJT forum, not here in virus/spyware.
Here are the current detailed instructions:
This will automatically open NotePad
Copy the entire file from NotePad: EDIT/SelectAll, EDIT/Copy
Then go to the forum dedicated for HiJack This logs (**NOT** back here), and PASTE the results there:

Be sure to include a detailed description of any problems/errors/warnings you are encountering.
Also, please indicate the steps you've already taken, if any, in terms of running anti-malware scanners or malware removal tools.
Hopefully, one of the HJT experts will get to it as quickly as possible.
