Download and rename HijackThis (HJT)
- Double-click on HJTInstall.
- Click on the Install button.
- It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe
- Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
- Close HijackThis and rename it.
- Go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.exe
- Right click on HijackThis.exe and select Rename
- Type in sniper.exe and press Enter
- Right-click on sniper.exe and select Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)
- From the desktop open Hijackthis.
- If using Windows Vista, Right-click and Run As Administrator
- Click on Do a system scan and save a log file
- Hijackthis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
- Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post.
- Do not have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
Note: Although we have renamed Hijackthis to sniper, we will still refer to it as Hijackthis or HJT.
