Create a directory on your hardrive to save HijackThis.exe. A directory
like c:\hijackthis. If you do not do this, you will not be able to use the
backup/restore features.

Download HijackThis from:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip

or he

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/file...hijackthis.zip

Save this file into the directory you made previously and then run the
program named hijackthis.exe. When the program opens click on the Config
button, then click on the Misc Tools button, and click on the Check for
update online button. When it completes checking/applying updates press the
back button.

Now click on the Scan button and when it is finished click on the Save Log
button. A Notepad window will open with the contents of this log. Click on
Edit then click on Select all. Then click on Edit and then Click on Copy.
