Hello,

My PC has started acting funny -- mouse would pause, Windows error messages & Firefox crashing alot and shutting down. Strange behavior (which started around the time I did an upgrade to Yahoo Messanger 8) by my PC leads me to Think I may have been hijacked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

drmajcher

Thanks for the help -- It's very much appreciated !

I used Hijackthis this to fix the items you said to -- with the exception of C:\WINDOWS\ptsnoop.exe. I'm confused as to how to do this using Hijackthis & would appreciate some guidance on this.

Below is my new Hijackthis log. I notice all these enties from Yahoo that I think must have come with my upgrading to Yahoo Messanger 8. All I use Yahoo Messanger for is to chat with friends. When I installed Messanger 8, I felt I also got alot of extra Yahoo junk that I don't need or want. Do you know if I can eliminate entries like :

O8 - Extra context menu item: Yahoo! &Dictionary - file:///C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Common/ycdict.htm
O8 - Extra context menu item: Yahoo! &Maps - file:///C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Common/ycmap.htm
O8 - Extra context menu item: Yahoo! &SMS - file:///C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Common/ycsms.htm

Again, your help is very much appreciated.

I did the scan and the status on my PTSNOOP.EXE file was OK -- found nothing.

I did click on

O16 - DPF: Java AS400 Display (ASD) - http://www.co.kent.de.us/w2hlegacy/java/wdasd.cab

under Hijackthis to Fix. However, I keep getting a message that says it can not be fixed because it does not exist anymore.

Thanks so much for all the help you provide to people like myself. Your guide to remove Spyware is fantastic. I had been using many of the items you suggest to use and now I'll be using the others that I had not been using.
 
Yes, I'm still having Firefox just crashing (gives the message"THIS PROGRAM HAS PERFORMED AN ILLEGAL OPERATION AND WILL BE SHUT DOWN") multiple times out of the blue.

Thanks,

Drmajcher
 
IE isn't crashing as much as FF. But, IE does an occasional crash & tends to lock up -- causing me to have to reboot the computer (as CNT- ALT- DEL won't shut down IE for me on most occasions).

I just tried to uninstall FF by using ADD/REMOVE Programs and it wouldn't work -- the time came up but then disappeared.
