Hi, A friend sent me their HijackThis log and I can spot a few obvious items that look like they need fixing.


popuper.exe
msole32.exe
intmonp.exe
wuauclt.exe

Can someone take a read through the rest please? I've told him which adware/spyware tools to download and they're being sorted.
Thanks.

Mr,Baskar

Thank you for the reply, i'll email all your instructions to the person whose computer it is and get him to send me a fresh log.
He only uses the computer at home with a pay as you go account so the more information I can give him to do offline the cheaper it'll be for him!

Hi,hopeless

No problem just tell your friend to take it one step at a time
& to take a good look at this before he starts

HGD

Sorry it's taken so long to reply to this, the friend's been offline a while.

We seem to have sorted everything out, he got all the quicknavigate stuff on his computer since the first log but we've managed to get rid of it.
The northgate stuff is his works ISP so nothing to worry about.
I'll post his latest log.
I've already told him how to disable msn messenger and everything else looks ok to me now....I could be wrong though.
