Download HijackThis and run it....
Then click "Scan", after this click the button which says "Save Log" and save the log file....
Open this Log file in NotePad and copy the complete contents and post it in the forum....

When i downloaded form the link provided it says, errors were found in this file, please fix it, i clicked on no, it said no CE signatures were found

What should i do now?

:roll:

 

[swatkat]

r u saying about "Certification of Authenticity" (or some Digital Signature by Microsoft) warning messages?

i just downlaoded the file from the above location,it's working fine...it's a ZIP file, extract it to some location and then run the HijackThis.exe file by double clicking it...
A wizard like interface comes up and asks "What u would like to do?", u click on the button "Do a System scan and Save Log file", it scans ur system and prompts u to type the filename to save the file...
if u cant run it, get it from Digit CD or from this Website.....

Ok. I tried again, it says errors were found in the zip file, attempting to fix, when i cliuck on no it says

No CE signature found

If i click yes it fixes the file and that doesntwrk.

This is the problem here, any manuial update doesnt wrk or gives error msgs...

If its automatic like live update, etc it works fine.

I scand using adaware with the automatic update and shows nothing, so its not a virus or spyware....

wht to do
