Default Deja Vu

My computer has become rather sporadic over the past few months and at this point I have had enough.

I am simply going to list a few problems, are they related? Is their a possible solution for each? Is their a known key logger or virus that causes these problems?


- Flash, after a few hours of use, seems to uninstall itself. I cannot watch youtube videos, etc. When I reinstall it, nothing is fixed. The only way to fix the problem is to reboot the computer, but again, it only works temporarily.

- Similar to the Flash situation, my virus protector Avast, refuses to update. When I restart the computer, it says it updated fine, but later on it will eventually say update failed, which should only work if the internet is disconnected.

- Windows asked to update its system every time I reboot. As if, the time before it did not install, yet I keep installing it.

- Recently, I was hacked in a game, so I seem to have a key logger on my computer. I used Hijackthis, so I think I might have gotten rid of something, though I am still unsure.


Any help or suggestions would be tremendous.

- Thanks in Advance

First off, what did you do with HiJackThis?

I used a website that detected which were harmful, only two were found, and I deleted them.

I have backups, but I did not recognize the files at all so I assumed that they were bad.

Okay, well, those websites are limited, what I recommend first off is you do the Prework (Linked below) and post the necessary logs, along with a new HiJack This log, in our HiJackThis Logs forum (linked further below). They'll get reviewed by a trained security specialist who can pick up things that the online HJT scanners can't.
Furthermore, it's generally not recommended that you use HiJackThis unless you know what you're doing, it's a VERY powerful program and you can do a lot of irreversible damage quickly with it.

Okay cool
Please be patient with the security staff though, if you haven't gotten a reply from them (they've got Purple usernames) in 24 hours please PM me and I'll let them know
