Please forgive me for posting on this thread, but I cannot start my own thread due to the "valentine's day" advertisement that is blocking the option for starting a new post. The ad will NOT close, even when I click on the red "x." It is fully covering the choices to start a new thread. (Please move this to a new thread if you need to, and then post here where I need to look for the new thread location. Thanks.)
My laptop seems to be seriously compromised. I can't open emails now. My malware detection programs, my antivirus, my firewall program are all telling me that I do not have proper administrative rights to delete them, etc. A while back, I started experiencing problems with being unable to boot my laptop. So I had to do a System Restore. This happened several times. Just prior to this problem surfacing, I had been forced to remove my Comodo firewall program in order to allow the Five9 system to work on my laptop. The Five9 system is used by the company I now work for.
I turned on the Windows firewall, but have felt very vulnerable without a firewall like Comodo or Zone Alarm.
Long story short, now I have a system that will not let any malware programs or antispyware programs run on my system.
I just downloaded HiJackThis and ran it. During the process, a box popped up with this message...
