[smeezekitty]

My HijackThis report

[Karnac]

Follow the directions for cleaning at the end of the process log.

[smeezekitty]

why is it telling me to delete sndvol?
sndvol is the windows vist sound volume contol
i am not sure that its making the right desicions

[Karnac]

 Sndvol.exe is a known trojan, but it can also be legitimate, so wait for a specialist to give you the go ahead to remove it.

[smeezekitty]

if i click start->run
and type in sndvol and hit ok the vista volume control comes up
or is that a disguise

[SuperDave]

Smeezekitty, you should run SuperAntispyware and Malwarebytes-Antimalware programs found here and post the logs. Also run HJT again and post the log.

[Quantos]

Why are you poking around when you should be waiting for a virus specialist?

[Shandy]

download http://filehippo.com/download_antivir/ update, run a scan, post the log.

Smeezekitty

You need to follow all of the direction in the below link and post the asked for logs so that the specialist will have every thing they need.

Also like Quantos was getting at you need to stop poking around and wait for the specialist.

[smeezekitty]

its taking a very long time

I'm sorry - you're using TWO anti-virus utilities?
