Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop. By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This. Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue. 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 Hijack This. 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 have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

New Member Posts: 3 OS: xp	Thanks Essexboy! I was able to do a system restore to yesterday and everything seems fine now. (I can access my control panel and clock now, whereas before I could not.) The popup I was getting is gone now too. I know it is impossible to tell, but could it be that I am ok now? Thank you very much!
