Question
I have a trojan virus that I can not get rid of "virusresponse2009". It's posing as virus protection and will not go away. I also having a click hijacker I'm not sure if it's part of the same virus or not. I just switched from "stop sign" to "intelinet" thinking it might clear things up my problems. While it has helped some I am still left with three viruses it can not get rid of. What should I do?
Hello Shera
Please download HijackThis to your desktop from here:
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe
Make sure you close EVERY open window and ALL browser windows. The only thing that should be open is the HijackThis program.
Double-click on the file you just downloaded.
Click on the "Install" button.
Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
Should it not open, go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis and double click on HijackThis.exe
Choose 'Do a system scan and save a log file'.
Copy the text file which opens in Notepad and paste it in a follow-up here.
* Do not fix any entries in HijackThis, as they may be harmless.
