I think it's better to see HijackThis log..
Please download the self-extracting version of HijackThis from here:
HijackThis_sfx download
Save HijackThis_sfx to your desktop.
Double-click the file then click the Unzip button. Then close the Self-Extractor window.
Using My Computer/Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\HijackThis and double click on HijackThis.exe to run it. If you would like to make a shortcut for your Desktop so it's more easily accessable, right click HijackThis.exe and choose Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).
Please run the extracted HijackThis.exe from now on. Delete any copies of HijackThis.zip that you have saved.
Open HijackThis and click Do a system scan and save a log file. Copy the entire contents of that log and post it here by clicking the New Reply button.
The surf side kick has an uninstaller built in and the other garbage was all deleteable in R-ED.
I have never seen I search and just wanted to read up on it. Did not see much in the Gggles Srch.
I have already yanked it out by its throat! I think he has learned his lesson about free music down loads.
You try to warn them but they just dont listen do they?
Your friend computer is now clean? I think is good to send a HjT log.. There can be something hide..
