Franke...
I'm not sure what you're doing.
Do it all over. Run HJT. When it's done, it opens Notepad window with the log. Just save that file, and attach it to your next reply.

Look to the last post on the second page of this thread.
I managed to post the SNAPFILE printout that you asked for.
Frank
(you must RtCLK on the file to open it)

[Broni]

First, it doesn't open for me. Secondly, I need text file.

[franke]

Boni
just RtCLk the file
then select OPEN
The file will appear(caption:downloaded 4 times)
I tried it a minute ago
Is this the file that you need to see?

Hi Franke, I'm trying to see how best to help you. I've tried opening your file like you've said, but can't see anything either.

Everyone: is there any of you who can view his file successfully?

franke...
This is not gonna work. Again, I can't open your file, and anyway, I need text file, not gif.
Open HJT, run the scan. When it's done, the Notepad will open with HJT log. In Notepad, go File>Save As, save the file to known location, and attach it to your reply.

What program are you using to create those files Franke? Online TrID identifies them as AOL ART files but none of my imaging software will open them.
(I'm just curious btw., follow Broni's advice and make a proper hijackthis log.)

I AM trying to do as he says.
That file is the hijack file that he gave me.(it's called hijack file)
I was unable to copy it directly to my post here;but I could,and did,copy it to my "picture"page on my computer.
I was able to copy it from there to this post.
I have no idea why I,alone,can open the file.With my intense attemps to do as he said,I downloaded it 10 times,easily.

Download  HijackThis.exe

* Double-click on the installer you just downloaded.
* Click on the Install button to install.
* It will by default install to the directory - C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis
* Please do not change the default install location.
* Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.

* Next click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button.
* HijackThis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
* Copy and then paste the log in your next reply.

Note: If you need to save the log for posting later then save it to the desktop.
To save the notepad file to your desktop in notepad click "File" "Save As"
Name it HijackThis.

Hello,
Try again
I have the file(TrendMicro HijackThis 2.0.2),and can read it.
But cannot copy/paste it here.
Where is NOTEPAD?  I explored my computer,and could not find it.
If I could browse to the file,in notepad,maybe i could copy/paste it to here.

Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories.  Notepad should be there.  If you still can't find it, try this: Start, Run, and type notepad in the Open box.

[franke]

Hello,
I found the NOTEPAD;it's empty-nothing there
I accessed the hoy\t file again.I have three main options:

Analyze This  --Upload to Trend Secure  --Main Menu

Scan & Fix Checked Info on Selected Item

Other Stuff  --Info  --Config  --Add Checked to Ignore List
Do I select any of these?
