hijackkthis

Well here I am :slight_smile:

Loaded ‘Outpost’ firewall - though this was not without it’s problems either :-\

Kept restarting the PC and would not even allow me to start up in ‘safe’ mode.

It’s running now though, so fingers crossed.

A2 is updating but strange that I couldn’t get Comodo or Zone Alarm to run on X64. Their set-up just wouldn’t even allow the install.

Will update as I go along.

Thanks again.

I use Outpost Pro and I wasn’t aware it was also 64bit just checked and yes it is. However there have been people having problems with the latest updates of version 4.0 I still have 4.0.971. There have been recent 4.0.1005 and 4.0.1007 (rectifying problems with 1005). So at the moment I’m sitting tight on the earlier 4.0.971 version.

This is the official forum http://outpostfirewall.com/forum/index.php if you experience any more issues.

:slight_smile: Hi Doug :

 While researching for a friend, I discovered there are few software firewalls available for 64 bit
 machines; the only FREE ones I found was the Outpost and GhostWall; the latter I found while
 looking through the Forums at Wilderssecurity, with a link of   www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=99345

OK - Hi again.

I’m posting a link to the thread where you first posted so if we need to refer back to the original symptoms, steps taken, etc we don’t have to search for it

It may be some of the malware preventing you from installing certain security soft. After A-Squared finishes try the avast! boot scan I mentioned:

Right click the a-icon in your system tray and click Start avast! Antivirus

Click the upward facing arrow (see below)

and click Schedule Boot-Time Scan … The default options should be OK. Reboot.

After this finishes lets look at a hijackthis log.

EDIT: Just in case you need this, there is a link to the hijackthis download and instructions about how to save a log here

Don’t “fix” anything with hjt yet - just post the log you save, using multiple posts if its too long to fit in one.
