Hello, visitor!

The Hijack This log analyzer has analyzed your log. Please take a closer look on the results.

Your system seems to be infected with malicious parasites. Please follow the steps below in order to eliminate the infection and clean up your computer.

1. Download the Pocket KillBox utility. You will need it later to delete parasite-related files and folders.
2. Use HijackThis to fix the following entries:

O3 - Toolbar: qalkfxor - {E8B91C06-BB8F-49D6-A79B-9DA8652E7BC9} - C:\WINDOWS\qalkfxor.dll

3. The following entries are not malicious, but some of them are not used anymore. You may use HijackThis to fix a few of them. However, please keep in mind that some of the entries marked as Questionable or Not Needed are fully legitimate and might be required by installed software to work properly, while some others might be related to certain parasites. It is up to you to decide whether you need any of them, or not.

Bobby,

Thanks to your information and help, I now appear to be Infection free!!

My family can have their dad back now!

Really appreciate the time you have put-in. I think you should be given a Knighthood!


Only problem I still have is to remove the text "Virus Alert!" that has been added to the clock time (bottom-right of the screen). I think this may be screwing-up some of the TV recordings in Media Centre....

[Bobby]

hi there,

i'm glad to hear your able to use your computer. now, when Antivirus2008 don't block things on your machine, you should be able to download updates of security tools you use and run a scan. i bet this will remove the alerts in system tray.

looking forward to hear from you

Quick update,

Due to time and family pressures (my PC is the main Media Centre and does all the TV recording), I took the lazy man's way out and deleted my profile.

By running as Administrator, I now have all my Start Menu options, drives, "run" commands etc visible. The PC is running OK (well, as OK as amy Mkicrosoft product ) and I can get on with all the jobs I've put off to fix it..

Time for a disc image whilst it is still behaving itself, I think........

Thanks again for all the help.

[Bobby]

hello,
you're welcome, but you don't have to thank me as you find almost all the solutions on your own, so applauds for you i hope your computer is spyware free now. don't hesitate to post again if your computer gets infected.
