Hi,

delete your copy of findawf.exe . We will no longer need it.


Your HijackThis seem to have reverted back to v 1.99.1 .. Did you download this? Anyway,

Congratulations! Your log looks clean!

Click start > run > copy and paste:

combofix /u

That will hide your system files, clear the system restore cache and uninstall combofix.

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your pc's security.

Firewall Application - Although Windows Xp comes with a firewall, you should not rely on it because the Windows Firewall can only filter incoming data; outgoing traffic is not controlled, meaning that malware/viruses that are present in your computer can access the internet with no restrictions. There are several other Firewall that can protect you better by filtering incoming and outgoing data. Make sure you get only one of these.

» Comodo
» Kerio
