Uninstall your current BETA version of HijackThis and install the latest version as per the following instructions:
Click here to download HJTInstall.exe (Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2).- Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
- Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
- By default it will install to C:\Program Files\HijackThis.

- Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
- Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
- At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch HijackThis.
- Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button.
- It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
- Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
- Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
- DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
- DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
Read over the following directions. Ask if anything appears unclear to you.
Clean out TEMPORARY FILES procedures:
To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this free tool:
CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp
Install Options: - Don't install any Toolbars, or other programs, should it ask you!
- Just uncheck the option of installing the Yahoo toolbar.
It will put a shortcut on your Desktop.
Do not run CCleaner until requested later.
We will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet. Accordingly, it is probably a good idea to print out the following directions or copy them to a text file on your desktop using NOTEPAD. Read these instructions carefully and feel free to ask if you're unsure about anything.
SELECT HijackThis FIX ITEMS: Scan with HijackThis and place a check next to these items:
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [KILLANDCLEAN] "C:\Program Files\KillAndClean\KillAndClean.exe"
Make sure that all browser windows and internet links are closed, even this one!
CLICK ’FIX CHECKED’ with HijackThis.
HIDDEN FILES: To make sure you can see all hidden files, please follow the directions here
SAFEMODE: Boot into safe mode by tapping the F8 key at restart and choosing 'safe mode' menu option (explained here if needed).
Delete TEMPORARY FILES: Now, use CCleaner to hunt down the most common temporary file locations and the temporary file clutter contained therein (and of possible malware hiding places):
Run CCleaner.
FIRST-TIME USE:
Select the ”Options” BUTTON option (top LEFT), ”Advanced” BUTTON, and then UNCHECK the ”Only delete files in Windows Temp Folders older than 48 hours”. Set back to default afterwards.
