This thing is stupid and fat

Hi.

I have this weird viral/trojan thing. It's basically this message that pops up in AIM 5.0:
This page has an unspecified potential security flaw. Would you like to continue?

I did some Googling and there were some answers (some said it was a password extracter, others said it was a Windows Update Glitch from Aug/'05) but I'm not really that tech-savvy. By the way: this is more of a minor-but-serious trivial problem: My AOL 6.0...when I click on it's desktop shortcut, it does nothing. I tried it's Program File .exe launch too and...nothing.

Thx a trillion! :tongue:

    Hello Xpac and Welcome to the Forums :) , sorry for the delay getting to you, helpers have been busy lately.

    Let's try this:
    • Click here to download HijackThis.exe
    • Save HijackThis.exe to your desktop.
    • Create a new folder named HijackThis to your desktop. Move Hijackthis.exe into that folder.
    • Then rename HijackThis.exe to Scanner.exe
    • Run Scanner.exe
    • Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
    • Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
    • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
    • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
    • DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
