Please unzip Hijackthis.zip into a new folder you create in the root (first) level of the C: drive. Name this folder HJT for best and safest results. (don't unzip it into a temp folder or run the file from a temp folder, or the Windows Desktop, etc...as it needs a safe folder to keep backup logs). Also when people post here and place it on the Desktop the log usually shows their full name since their Windows user profile is commonly named with their full name. We try not to disturb your privacy. *;-)
See my entire Hijackthis FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) at:
After downloading, and unzipping the hijackthis file into a safe folder you create (preferably a folder named HJT in the first level of the C: drive)...run Hijackthis, click on the 'scan' button and then 'save log' button.

Special Notice! Hijackthis is a powerful tool that edits the brains of Windows (the Registry). DO NOT FIX anything in the Hijackthis log screen without assistance from the experts! Most of the line items in the scanned log are normal for Windows operation. Hijackthis should identify the vast majority of your problems and enable us to help you clean them off your system.

Thank you so much for your help. It is not that I don't trust, it's that I am afraid to try the tech. things I would have to do to apply your answer. I am sure it would work. I am a complete novus at this, the zip and unzip and creating folder and all these things are a bit much for me. I guess I was wrong in asking for tech help when I don't know how to apply it. Thanks anyway. lindamw

OK...I understand...you can also download an unzipped version of Hijackthis...in my FAQ. If you get a friend to give you a hand we'll be waiting.
