| 349388 | 2005-04-27 10:45:00 | Not sure how much this will help, but my friends mum had a computer full of spyware/adware that kept coming back on restart, Ibooted it in safe mode and ran Lavasoft Adaware, it completely cleaned all the bugs and there haven't been any problems since then. Indeed, booting into safe mode and running the antispy programs is recommended, as the nastyware won't be running, and they'll have a chance to delete it |

| 349389 | 2005-04-27 11:30:00 | Thanks for that link, sal, I just tried it and got an almost clean bill of health except for all the about:blanks which I actually put in myself and one unnamed BHO which I have always wondered about. Good stuff, thanks again. |

| 349390 | 2005-04-27 11:46:00 | sal... Thanks for the gentle hint about IF1. I've just been to take a look at it. Could you or anyone else who knows please let me know what address goes into the box labelled Relative Link. I'm sure that the answer is something really simple but I've never seen that request before. Thanks to everyone for the replies...I'll get back and let you know what appens. Cheers Ken. :) |

| 349391 | 2005-04-27 12:19:00 | Thanks for the gentle hint about IF1. I've just been to take a look at it. Could you or anyone else who knows please let me know what address goes into the box labelled Relative Link. It wasnt entirely directed at you paradox, infact I think it is only my opinion at best. About IF1, the 'Relative Link' is optional (/me hurries off to label so). |

| 349392 | 2005-04-27 22:43:00 | I had a quick search, and it hasnt been mentioned in the forums yet, but concerning HijackThis logs, theres a great utility online that can you give you useful feedback about your logs - hjt.iamnotageek.com that's a really good utility! Thanks for the link, Sal. Also it is suggested to not post HJT logs in forums, but instead link to a log file. I strongly disagree with that. If log files are posted as files then Google will not be able to find the contents and searches for entries and their fixes will become quite fruitless. |

| 349393 | 2005-04-27 23:52:00 | Also it is suggested to not post HJT logs in forums, but instead link to a log file. I strongly disagree with that. If log files are posted as files then Google will not be able to find the contents... I recommended this because it was mentioned in a tutorial on the subject of posting HJT logs in (forums) (forums.majorgeeks.com) which is linked to from the FAQ here (pressf1.co.nz 16). ...Due to Hijack This logs destroying search engine and website searches, we now ask you do not post your Hijack This log file unless requested by us...When, and if, we ask you to post your logfile, please attach it as a file. Also, google (and the forum search) should pick up the parts it needs to when we highlight in thread posts what needs to be fixed. |

| 349394 | 2005-04-28 03:32:00 | I recommended this because it was mentioned in a tutorial on the subject of posting HJT logs in (forums) (forums.majorgeeks.com) which is linked to from the FAQ here (pressf1.co.nz 16).Yes, I gathered that your suggestion was made after seeing it recommended somewhere else but I don't think that we have the same problem here as they do. At my other Home where hundreds (thousands?) of HJT logs are posted they prefer them posted on the forum as is done here rather than posted as files. Also, google (and the forum search) should pick up the parts it needs to when we highlight in thread posts what needs to be fixed.Yes, you are quite right about that but I still prefer to see the whole log because it is helpful to see what entries in logs get a clean bill of health. Legitimate entries in logs would no longer appear in Google which would make it very time consuming and tedious to find out whether spyware/malware was present or not. |

| 349395 | 2005-04-28 12:08:00 | thanks sal.... I think I'm having one of my mental blocks. At the risk of driving you nuts, what I'd like to know is. step by step, how IF 1 works. Where is my file stored after it's been up loaded? Where does the link on my post go to to get the file? Where does google come into it? Hope you're in a patient mood. I couldn't find this in our faq and MajorGeeks small reference to it assumed that I new most of it anyway. cheers...Ken :) |
