Before you do anything else, create a folder for HijackThis and put it in a permanent folder (like C:\HJT) instead of the Temp folder. This is required because HijackThis will create backups and we don't want them to be deleted.

Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab:
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading, select Show hidden files and folders.
* Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Also make sure there is no checkmark beside Hide file extensions for known file types
* Click Yes to confirm and then click OK.


I'd like you to rename HijackThis.exe to bunny.exe.
  • Navigate to C:\hjt\HijackThis.exe (or whereever you have HJT located now)
  • Right click on HijackThis.exe
  • Select 'Rename'
  • Type in bunny.exe
  • Press Enter.

Please post a new HijackThis log with the renamed executable
