Title: Trouble downloading HijackThis to correct location
Post by: tryagain on March 13, 2010, 02:59:42 PM

My comp is freezing, crashing and restarting. I'm working through the pre-post "to-do" list. I've been unable to complete scans using SAS (comp restarts) and Malware Bytes (comp freezes).

I'm to the point of downloading HijackThis but I don't get the install prompts and automatic placement of HJT in the location listed in the directions. I can rename it and then choose where to place it (desktop, etc...). Would I just select the C drive to get it to the right place?
