This is a Malware Removal/Preparation Guide and only that! This guide will not help with slow PC's. A slow PC is not always an indication of a malware problem.
If you came here because of a slow PC, I suggest reading through the "Slow Computer? Check here first; it may not be malware" thread before proceeding with this guide.

Step 1 - Downloading HijackThis and creating a log!
Download HJTInstall.exe to your Desktop.

UPDATE! 9/18/07 the following is an update to non-certified spyware helpers, while we appreciate you trying to help please leave the spyware advice to the approved spyware removers here, any advice given by non-SVR staff will be removed. This is to protect the user from advice that may render their computer useless. If you are a graduate of 1 of the spyware schools out there & would like to help please PM one of the SVR mods:)
Thank You! :smiles:
