Hi, and thanks for reading. My brother was on the computer this morning and caught a few viruses while I was at school and now it is up to me to get them out. Mcaffe just scans and quarntines them, and Ewido sasy it can not find them. I have to go home from school and start the system in safe mode, and have a few ideas about how to get the files out, but am looking for some more help, so any help would be much appreciated..thank you very much. I think that is everything that I know right now

Create a directory on your hardrive to save HijackThis.exe. A directory like c:\hijackthis. If you do not do this, you will not be able to use the backup/restore features.

Download HijackThis from:

HijackThis Download Site

Save this file into the directory you made previously and then run the program named hijackthis.exe. When the program opens click on the Config button, then click on the Misc Tools button, and click on the Check for update online button. When it completes checking/applying updates press the back button.

Now click on the Scan button and when it is finished click on the Save Log button. A Notepad window will open with the contents of this log. Click on Edit then click on Select all. Then click on Edit and then Click on Copy.
