Problems figuring out what is spyware
Hi all
I am fairly adept at knowing what should or should not be on my own computer, however I am fixing a computer that is having trouble accessing certain websites (mainly pogo.com). I have run HijackThis and found several files and processes that don't look like they should be there. I was hoping some kind soul could help me out because I really don't want to tell my friend to delete something and find out I'm wrong.
Thank you all in advance for your help.
