-when i look up the word hijackthis on google, IE closes
-when i try to run hijackthis, a window opens saying to be careful what you delete (which i think is normal), but then hijackthis doesn't open and i never get to make a log. what i tried was to rename the program to asdf.exe which let me get passed that first window and almost to making a log, but then it still closes once the log begins to be made. (i thought i was clever, but apparently the jerks who made this virus are a bit ahead...)
so what do i do now? i've run adaware and spybot, and nothing changes. any ideas guys? thanks in advance
EDIT:
i did my best to capture some info before the program closed due to the infection...
EDIT2:
alright, here's the log, i got it through safemode and some name changing. thanks for the help. also, will a system restore point be of any use in this situation?
