My System

Click start, then run and type services.msc in the dialog box and hit enter. Locate Messenger in the list, right click the entry and select stop. Right click again and select properties, then set to disabled. OK out and close the window.

Download HijackThis from the CWShredder link in my signature, in the Official Downloads section. Save it to a permanent folder (I create a new folder in C:\ named HJT). Open and hit scan, then save log. Once it is saved it will open in notepad. Select all from the edit button, copy and paste the results here. Don't fix anything with it yet! Someone experienced with the logs will advise you.
