HI!

I HAD THE VIRUS "W32.DESKTOPHIJACK". SOMEBODY HELPED ME TO GET RID OF THE VIRUS. I KNOW HE USED THE PROGRAM CALLED "SMITREM". I HAVE XP PRO.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I LOG ON. IT TAKES A LONG TIME TILL IT LOADS MY SETTINGS. THEN WHEN I TRY RUNING THE PROGRAM THE COMPUTER FREEZES. SOMETIMES IT WORKS.

I AM RIGHT NOW WORKING IN SAFE MODE.

PLEASE HELP


JERRY

YES WE GOT THE INFORMATION FROM HERE. HOWEVER I DO NOT THINK HE FOLLOWED ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS CORRECTLY.

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.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.

I am convinced that the problems you are having are still related to the virus. Please post the HijackThis log as instructed above so that we can properly help you!
