I have cleaned my computer of out aurora popups through this website last year and it worked great. but I have this other one, no specific name because each popup is different. I scaned my computer with Hijakthis and here is what I have so far.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi tghobar and welcome back to GeeksToGo! My name is Excal and I will be helping you.

Before you do anything else, please create a folder for HijackThis and put it in a permanent folder (like C:\HJT) instead of the Temp folder. This is required because HijackThis will create backups and we don't want them to be deleted

I need you to repost a fresh HiJackthis log, from the very top to the very bottom. It appears that you may have cut off some of the bottom of your log.

thanks,



Excal

Hijackthis is still in a temp folder

C:\DOCUME~1\Khalid\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis[1].zip\HijackThis.exe

How to make a permanent folder:

Click "My Computer", then "C:\" and then on "Program Files".
In the menu bar, "File"->"New"->"Folder".
That will create a folder named "New Folder", which you can rename to "HJT" or "HijackThis".
Now you have "C:\Program Files\HijackThis". Put your HijackThis.exe there.
