C:\DOCUME~1\Wendy\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe
When you do so, either HJT will not create its log files and backup files; or if it does, you risk losing them when the TEMP's cache is cleared. It's important that you save these backup files, in case you have to "undo" [restore] some of the things you "FIX" incorrectly.
So you need to move HJT into a separate, non-temporary, non-Desktop, directory of its own. We recommend using the directory C:\HJT , so that it will then appear in your log, under running processes, as C:\HJT\HiJackThis.exe
Note: If you have previously download this file on another occasion, please download it again, to be absolutely sure you have the most current version.
* Save it to your Desktop * Close all running programs (including your Internet Browser) * Double-click VirtumundoBeGone.exe on the desktop * Follow the directions as indicated
please be advised that this program will generate a "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH"... this is an expected/necessary part of the process, so don't be surprised when it happens.
just reboot if your system "jams"
*********************
After rebooting, it's now time to run FixVundo (which you had downloaded earlier).
Make sure all other programs, including your Internet Browser, are closed.

Important: Do not launch any new applications while the tool is running!

VirtumundoBeGone generated a "log" file of its own, which it should have placed on your Desktop... please REPLY to this thread, and copy/paste the VirtumundoBeGone log back here, along with your latest HJT log.

First: You're running HJT from a TEMP directory:
C:\DOCUME~1\Wendy\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe
When you do so, either HJT will not create its log files and backup files; or if it does, you risk losing them when the TEMP's cache is cleared. It's important that you save these backup files, in case you have to "undo" [restore] some of the things you "FIX" incorrectly.
So you need to move HJT into a separate, non-temporary, non-Desktop, directory of its own. We recommend using the directory C:\HJT , so that it will then appear in your log, under running processes, as C:\HJT\HiJackThis.exe
