Hello and Welcome to TSF

Rename HijackThis

I need you to rename HijackThis as malware may be hiding some entries. Do the following to rename HijackThis:

Rename HijackThis.exe to fredmh.exe.

Navigate to C:\hjt\HijackThis.exe (or wherever you saved HijackThis)
Right click on HijackThis.exe
Select 'Rename'
Type in fredmh.exe
Press Enter.

Please run a scan with the newly renamed fredmh.exe and save the log.
