So, I'm not fully sure what a HiJackThis log is, although from first glance that looks like where I should be posting regarding Malware? If so, I'm sorry. I don't know what a HiJackThis log is or does so I just posted here again.
I swear, I've had more viruses in the last two weeks than I've had in the last 10 years of having a computer.

Anyhow... I posted here a few days ago about a virus on my coworkers computer (AntiVirus 2009). I cleared that one up, thanks to whoever responded to my post. Was hoping for a little more help. I've searched google, but the few things I've tried did not get rid of it, including this:

This virus is called Virus Response 2009... it resembles the AntiVirus XP 2008 and the AntiVirus 2009 that I've dealt with recently. Although I don't know how to remove this one, I use the MalwareBytes software and it doesn't recognize it. The software shown in the link above (SpyHunter, I believe it's called) says I have to purchase the software to use the 'remove' features, and I was hoping for a free way of removing this virus.

When it pops up and tells me to download the software to scan my computer, it takes me to virusresponse2009.com (not sure if that'll help out, or not).
If you need anything else, please let me know. I tried searching this site to see if this had been mentioned before but I didn't see anything.

Thanks again for all the help!!

Please go to the malware forum and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE.

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.
