k d poppitt - Welcome to the Board

I have split your post to a new thread.

Please download HijackThis through Quicklinks in my signature and save it to a folder on your hard drive, say C:\HJT - not to the Desktop or to a temporary location. Do not run it until I ask you to.

Then download SmitfraudFix and extract to a folder named SmitfraudFix to your Desktop.

I am assuming that you are running XP and will be using the Extraction Wizard.

Right click on the zip file and click on Extract all.

The Extraction Wizard opens > click on next > Select a Destination > click on Browse > click on Desktop > click on OK > click on next and the files will be extracted. A Window will open showing the contents of your Desktop - close it and go to the Desktop and you should see a new folder on it - SmitfraudFix.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double click on Smitfraudfix.cmd

If a Security Warning pops up hit the Run button

A command window appears > press any key to continue

On the line with the flashing cursor 'Enter your choice (1.2 ....) type 1 and press Enter

The program scans your system and when the scan has completed a Notepad window opens containing the scan report.

Select Edit from the menu bar then Copy

Return to your thread here and hit Reply and right click on the white area of the message pane and select Paste from the menu which appears. The report will be pasted into your reply.
