There is virus, atleast I'm pretty sure its a virus, called pinpac, that I am not sure how to get rid of. If its running when Im on the internet I get a lot of spyware, more than I should so I always go into taskmngr to end it so its not running but none of my anti-virus or anti-spyware programs are finding it. Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?

I will move this thread to the HijackThis Log Help section.

We need this log (just post the log here):

Please download HijackThis - this program will help us determine if there are any spyware/malware on your computer. Create a folder at C:\HJT and move HijackThis.exe there. Double click on the program to run it.

1. If it gives you an intro screen, just choose 'Do a system scan and save a logfile'.
2. If you don't get the intro screen, just hit Scan and then click on Save log.
3. Get HijackThis Analyzer and save it to the same folder as the hijackthis.log file. Run HijackThis Analyzer and type in y if you agree. The result.txt file will open up in Notepad. Copy the whole result.txt log and post it in the forum. We do not need the original hijackthis.log (unless we ask for it). Do not fix anything in HijackThis since they may be harmless.
