Anyone out there that can help me with this NASTY virus, please let me know! I have detected the trojan.hacktool.rootkit on my personal computer and was able to run in safe mode and download the "hijack this" fix for it...BUT, I have NO idea what folders/files to delete and which ones not too! I have a copy of the log file from the hijack this scan if someone is willing to take a look at it and help me out! THANK you in advance for ANY advice! Shelly (Maynard, Arkansas)

Topic moved.

Thank you for moving my post to the proper forum. After I posted the information, I did some research on this site and I realized I did post in the wrong forum! Thank you again! Do you have ANY idea if using the system restore will work in getting rid of this problem??
