Hey Buckeye Sam. Thanks for responding. Just a preface - I am NOT computer savvy. I downloaded the hijackthis already but couldn't run/open it. It is a .zip file...how do I open this? Not at my home computer right now so cant' do anything until tonight.

Thanks for your help.

Download and install Winzip.

Once you have installed Winzip you will just be able to double click on any zip file and Winzip will unpack for you.
