First off I have to appologize for being so rude.

I said hello, I learned a few things, then I set off to fix my computer and never returned.

Well, you can imagine how that went. Actually, it went well. My computer ran fine for a few months there. And now I have problems again.

So this time, we do things by the book.

I know the first thing I have to do is find that logger-thing-a-ma-bobby. I'm not familiar with it, but you seem like a helpful bunch.

So, I look forward to learning and hopefully being able to return the favor in the near future.

Are you referring to HiJackThis Log? Heres instructions

Download and install: HiJackThis.

(Always create a Folder for HiJackThis anywhere but your Temp/Temporary Internet Folders or Desktop. A good place to make a folder would be in My Documents, as this is where it will save the backup files needed if there's a problem.)

Then doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Do A System Scan And Save Log". Make sure all Windows and Browsers are closed.
When the scan is finished, best to save your text file in the same folder as where you put HiJackthis.

IMPORTANT!!!
Create a New Topic and include a fresh HJT log in the HiJackThisLog Help Forum and Copy/Paste the info from your saved Hijackthis log file into your new topic.

A Moderator/ Security Team Analyst will give you instructions.

I'm glad I CAN join you! I was going through random threads last night and quite frankly the team here amazes me! The volumes of knowledge and experience and time investment that must be put forth is all simply amazing.

Not only that, but Ried already posted on my thread! I'm excited. Unfortunately it was after I had already gone to bed last night, but as soon as I get home today I'm going to start attacking my computer and the little nasties that found their way onto it!
