http://forums.pcworld.com/images/emoticons/grin.gif Hi :


On Dec 22, you Posted a similar Request for help and I recommended you seek FREE

Expert Assistance and recommended the Spybot Forums; I see you started a thread there

on Dec 27 & Jan 1, Expert "Blade81" posted a response which you never replied; why ?

See http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=42402 .

In addition, while doing a Google "Search", I see you requested Help for the same Issue

on the malwarebytes.org Support Forums on Dec 21, and Expert "Temerc" replied within

2 hrs, asking you to Post Logs from HijackThis & "MBAM" ( Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware ).

http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8703 .

P.S. I see from the HijackThis log you Posted on the Spybot Forums that you have the

very dubious Kontiki P2P program; programs of this type QUADRUPLE the Chances of

getting a malware "infection" and I would NOT be surprised IF this is the "Source" of your

troublesome "trojan" . In addition, I would not be surprised IF you continue to seek help on

the Spybot Forums that they ask you to REMOVE Kontiki ; when it comes to P2P programs,

the SAFEST I know is Shareaza 2.4.0.0 from http://shareaza.sourceforge.net . In addition,

the HijackThis log shows many "Rogue" programs listed in your "015 - Trusted Zone"

category, which you should have HijackThis "fix" or let the recommended "ComboFix"

program take care of .
