Help Needed Analyzing Hijacjthis Log

[flembar]

I am a new member of RetouchPRO and new to using hijackthis. The following
log is from my first HJT run. I was told it is an excellent tool but I
should not attempt any fixes it recommends unless I first get the advice
of experienced experts, as the wrong “fix” can really be disastrous for
my PC.

Any expert analysis, advice, recommendations etc. would be much
appreciated. Thanks

Flembar

I found this site, which looks promising...

http://www.hijackthis.de/#anl

...by Googling HijackThis log file interpretation

It's a pretty slick site. I copied/pasted your log for fun. Fortunately, no red flags.

It looks like there are similar sites where one can get analysis of this nature.

[Gary Richardson]

DO NOT USE THE SITE DANNY FOUND.

It uses an automated analysis engine to look at your logs, as such it is prone to false positives. Following the instructions given there could render your computer inoperable. You need to have your log analysed by a trained helper.

I've had a quick look over your log and don't see any obvious Malware on it, however if you're having problems with your computer it will take further analysis tools to be run.

This forum is not a suitable place for this, if you need help look in the Library here, where I have placed links to a number of sites that do HJT analysis.

Here's a couple.

http://spywarewarrior.com/index.php
http://forums.tomcoyote.org/forums.html

All helpers at those two sites are fully trained. You can rely on their advice.

EDIT: The warning at the start of this post was not a slight on Danny's well meant intentions, it's just that I have some experience helping people with infected computers (I assist at both of the sites I've linked to), and the site he linked to has caused problems to people who have used it.

Danny & Gary,
Thank you for the replies. Actually, after I posted my question, and before getting your replies, a fairly knowledgeable friend had me run my log through hijacackthis.de (no /#anl). Danny, is the "#anl" a different analyzer?
At any rate I did that and checked processes that looked questionable against a few process libraries. After checking, nothing looked suspicious but even if there was something that HJT.ID thought was a possible problem, I would not go ahead and change ANYTHING without first getting expert advice.

Gary, Thank you. I'll also try the two sites you provided. BTWay, did you ever work in or still work in the IT Dept. of a large insurance company? There was someone I know of with your name that did. Just curious.

Not to my knowledge...

Thx for sharing your followup experiences. Glad you sought tech. advice and got past this one.

No sorry. I stay as far away from insurance companies as it's possible to get, my feelings on them are not such that you can express in a family forum.
