alright. i tried the link you showed me to learn to show my hidden files but when i follow the steps. it leads me to my computer. and it wants me to go to tools and select folder options. well when i go to the menu tools it only has Map Network Drive, Disconnect Network Drive, and Synchronize.

i downloaded the clean batch file. but i had to use internet explorer. i just wanted to infor you that when i used firefox to download it, it came up with this page.



del c:\*.tmp
del %temp%\*.tmp /f
del %windir%\prefetch\*.*
del %windir%\temp\*.* /f
del C:\documents and settings\*\local settings\temp\*.* /f

Post #22, that is what it is supposed to look like, but we will do it a differnt way.

From safe mode find C:\windows\prefetch---delete all files in the prefetch folder/not the folder.

yieldmanager can be removed it is just a cookie, Ewido will do that for you if you do not ignore it.

Post a new hijackthis log and let's start again and we will go from there. Thanks.

what about post 21?

Make sure you can see hidden files/folders
In Windows XP
Click Start.
Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab.
Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.
After you're cleaned, please "rehide" them again.

alright. but when i go to my computers and i go to the tools menu all it has is:

Map Network Drive
Disconnect Network Drive
Synchronize


thats it.

no folder options

Try this:

Click start>all programs>Accessories>Windows Explorer>View tab>folder options

If that doesn't work go here and follow directions:
