    I don't see anything to indicate any malware. But we can fix one entry.

    Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only.

    Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

    - O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AlcxMonitor] ALCXMNTR.EXE

    Important: Close all windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

    Exit HijackThis and restart the computer.

    How is the computer running now?

      seems to be running fine.  thanks for all the help.  i had ca internet security installed, but it kept telling me i didn't have administrative access, and then i couldn't get it un-installed.  had to go to the website for that.  do you have any suggestions for free internet security?  again, thank you.  this is a great site.

      All of these are good. I use Avast and Comodo.

      Remember to only install one antivirus!
       
      1) Avast! Home Free Edition
      2) AVG Free Edition
      3) Avira AntiVir Personal
      4) Comodo Antivirus (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one)
      5) PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition

      Remember only install ONE firewall

      1) Comodo (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one)
      2) Online Armor
      3) Sunbelt/Kerio
      4) Agnitum
      5) PC Tools Firewall Plus

        i installed avg and comodo, and ran a scan.  this is what the AVG scan found and put in my virus vault:

        infection     Trojan horse backdoor.generic9.akwq     c:\windows\downloadedprogram

        is there any need for alarm?

        thanks again for the help.

            I don't want to shove the rules into other people's faces, but we can't trust advice of strangerz. Please do not follow the advice of linuxpenguin13.

            What's the point of blocking ports? It won't get rid of the trojan.
