You can cut and past the text log file from HijackThis in to the web page at Help2Go
Detective and it can quickly tell you more about it and what threats it finds
faster than posting it here and having a few people spend their time looking at it.
It might take several days before anyone has the time and they could miss a lot of
things. Such postings here are not "to tell you if you might have something", but
to provide detailed information when all else has failed to find the cause of a
specific problem".
In addition, your Anti-Virus scans (including free online scans) and ADware/Spyware
scanners can also do a better job of finding such Malware and removing it. HighjackThis
logs do not even look at most of the ways such Virus/Worm/Trojan and ADware/Spyware
type of Malware can be loaded into your system. It is only concerned with those
that Hijack the Internet Explorer browser.
So until all such standard scanner software has been installed, updated and ran
several times, it is a waste of time to even look at a HijackThis log. And there
are web sites with people that do nothing but just that and know how to spot the
unusual and new problems not picked up by Anti-Virus programs or the standard scanners.
