Recently my laptop began to give an internet explorer error that said it could not connect to the internet, but clicking refresh often would cause the page to load, but sometimes with some garbage on the page. At the same time, i tried to install some programs (Yahoo Messenger, iTunes updates) but i received a warning that the publisher was unknown, and when I chose for it to run anyway the option came up to send or not send the report to microsoft. Anyone have an Idea what can be going on? here is my Hijack this log.

Hello fsechrist and welcome to the G2G HijackThis forum. Let's check some other things with a different scanner.

Download wpf3u_new.exe to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named WinPFind3u on your desktop.
  • Close ALL OTHER PROGRAMS.
  • Open the WinPFind3u folder and double-click on WinPFind3U.exe to start the program.
  • Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
  • Let it run unhindered until it finishes.
  • When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
  • Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.
Use the Add Reply button and Copy/Paste the information back here. I will review it when it comes in. If, after posting, the last line is not < End of Report > then the log is too big to fit into a single post and you will need to split it into multiple posts.

Cheers.

I can download the file, but when I try to install it, I get an error. It happens with every program I try to install.

Hi fsechrist. There isn't any installation as such. It's a zip executable and it just extracts the files from the zip. Post back with the complete error message that you re getting and we'll see what's what.

Cheers.
