Marty:

Just FYI for anyone questioning new software

any antispyware/antivirus software that you question should be checked with spywarewarrior - this is the first place I check when analyzing HJT logs during my training steps. If it is listed there, I know that it is a rogue, and I take appropriate action - and remove it from the log - If it shows as DELISTED I color it ORANGE and advise the victim/user of its status, and tell them that it is an optional removal.

Hope that helps

hi baker7

a friend on a board close to home

posted on the board and said he went to install

a program

and spyware crusher installed it self on his sys

and now he is gettin popups and spy ware

i advised him to scan to see of it was a hi-jack

which it was

i wanted him to send a logfile to the board

but apparently he has fixed the problem

how i do not know

so he must have paid for professional

services

i said i would post to BT

and get the experts to read the log file

but he went ahead and got advice

we could do with a hi-jack expert at this board

i was going to learn my self but

i didnt know where or how to do it

besides ime to old now to try new things

thanks for your posts

until i joined no one had even heard of a browser

or home page h-jack

they were treating the problem as normall spy ware

ive sent a post in for a lady friend

who has a hi-jack

but only one poster has answered

ive since sent the scanned log file but ime waiting for info

Marty:

You are never too old to begin malware removal training[ I have wanted to do this stuff for 4 years, and I finally took the plunge in 2007 - Matt has completed training, and recommended GeekstoGo for Malware Training - many of the staff here are also staff over there, and when I am done, I will be able to analyze HJT logs - It will be my pleasure to be able to serve my community
