When you click the Reply button, there is an Additional Options link, this expands the options to attach a file, that can be an image file or a text file (.log or .txt).

It is the same as the How to post a screen shot info link I gave earlier, you just navigate to the hijackthis.log file and select that.

You attached it OK, twice ;D
I assume they are the same, I've only opened the last one.

I don't know where  you got your copy of HJT but it is out of date, get it here:
FileHippo Download - HiJackThis and post the contents of the HJT log file here. This file is an executable installation file so you won't have to unzip and extract the files it will create its own program folder.

Here is a helpful tutorial - HJT Information HiJackThis Tutorial.

So it would be best to get the new version and run the log again, now you know how to attach it.

If this entry appears the next time you Run HJT it can be fixed.
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

Other than that I don't see anything obvious, but we can check again when you run the latest version of HJT.

Also you don't appear to be running an active firewall, or it is disabled or it is the XP firewall.
Your firewall should be capable of blocking unauthorised outbound Internet Connections.

Windows XP's firewall is better than no firewall but, it lulls you into a false sense of protection, it doesn't provide outbound protection. Whilst the windows XP firewall is usually good at keeping your ports stealthed (hidden) it provides no outbound protection and you should consider a third party firewall.

Any malware that manages to get past your defences will have free reign to connect to the internet to either download more of the same, pass your personal data (sensitive or otherwise, user names, passwords, keylogger retrieved data, etc.) or open a backdoor to your computer, so outbound protection is essential.

Thanks, you have to wonder why they are so obscure in the naming of it.
As Shortiehi5 was running an old version of HJT that may be why it shows the (no file) as it used to report similar issues with avast. This is also why I said to check against the next run of HJT.

I have a WinPatrol Hijack log which also doesn't give any info, just O2 - BHO:  - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045}.

I guess Micro$oft doesn't really bother with names :P

Yes, but it doesn't give the (no file) suffix, which was a common problem with the old 1.99 version of HJT. Not so much of a problem with HJT 2.0 and usually if that reports (No file) it is a redundant entry.

Do NOT delete this one! It's Windows Live Messenger related, see 7-8 posts above  ;)

But why delete all the other stuff? The default pages and stuff in IE that is.
