I got hijacked!
Reply #20 –
i went and re-read the thread and i missed that part (about the .exe thing) sorry about that i thought it was something you tried on it that didnt work.
ive never had an issue with using hijackthis when ive had to use it i mean.
as for destructive recovery, it is what it sounds like so yes you would basically be setting the computer back to the way you bought it and would lose what is on it that you didnt back up onto something. if you computer doesnt have a recovery partition then you would need the CDs that came with it for that.
if your computer works fine now and your happy with it then disreguard what ive typed here, its irrelevant then.
if your computer was hijacked and even though you use antivirus or whatever its still there, they dont remove them jand ust bandaid your computer around them or quarenteen them. thats not effective enough for me.
and for the ones that recommend programs they never used, dont.
