I have downloaded the hijackthis as you told into c-drive. i scanned under no adware, then it found 22 parasites and told me to pay b4 would rid the parasites. I do not understand when you say to scan and save to log, would you please walk me thru? This is a new computer just purchased from dell with pc illin security, and therefore, I do not want to pay for software. can you help?
thank you

If it's a new computer and System Restore is still running then you should be able to restore it to the day you brought it home.

If not you can download (for free) hijackthis from:
http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/hjt199//HijackThis.exe
and Save it to your desktop. Then close Internet Explorer andanything else you may have running and run hijackthis by doubleclicking on it. OK the warning then select Scan and Save log. When the notepad file comes click once on the text in the file and then Ctrl + a this will select the whole file. Ctrl + c to copy it. Now open Internet Explore, come back to the forum find your post and press the Reply button then click once inside the reply box and Ctrl + v to paste the text into the reply box. (Sometimes it helps to hit Enter after doing so.) Then press Submit Post. If you get an error just hit Submit Post a second time.
