I've been looking around to try and fix this problem that has appeared on my laptop...no doubt you know what it is by now. EVERY SINGLE time I go to a new page on Internet Explorer, this thing pops up, telling me I need to scan my system so it won't freeze up and junk. When I click Cancel, it opens a window that starts the scan, so I close it. This is happening EVERY page I go to. Could anyone help me remove this?
Save it in a convenient permanent folder such as C:\\HJT\\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents AT THE LINK BELOW
**assuming it is spyware** boot to safe mode with networking by pressing F8 at startup. go to microsoft and d/l Windows Defender Beta 2, under Popular Downloads. Save it to your c:\ folder, not the desktop. Boot to normal mode and run the file.

and include a description of the problem along with your log
Please do not be tempted to "fix" on your own. Hijackthis is a very powerful tool, if used incorrectly can cause system problems
