Go here http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html

Scroll down to the MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and follow the directions for running it and posting the log.

Then scroll down to the HijackThis instructions and follow through with them.

Post the MBAM and HJT log when complete.

We should have this knocked out in no time.

Be sure to do HJT after MBAM is done and the computer has been restarted.

No, MBAM needs to complete and the PC be restarted (to register the changes done by MBAM) then run HJT. If you do HJT first it will falsely show the infected entries.

Oh darn, well is it ok that I just exited hijack this?? It was like halfway done, and Mbam is taking quite a long time as I have many files on my computer...... ??? ??? ???

And I'm also in the middle of scanning with superanti-spyware free edition. Should I stop it or just let it scan??

Stop SuperantiSpyware. You shouldn't run two at once, they will tend to "argue" over files and therefore take longer or even crash the PC.

MBAM shouldn't take much longer in quick scan mode.

Alright, I stopped it and closed the program. I've just gotta wit for MBAM now.I've also got spyware doctor open, but its not scanning or anything, and to close it I have to restart the computer, so should I just leave it and close it when MBAM is complete?-Nevermind, it shutdown.... Thanks so far.........

As long as two aren't scanning at the same time it will be fine.

Ok, thanks. MBAM has scanned for 38 minutes so far. Is it taking longer than it should??
