You are very dangerous to any OP that would post the above to you.How many did or how many more will have serious repercussions by you giving the wrong advice as to what to remove. Why do you not leave it to experts that have a proven impeccable track record to analyze and give advice as to what and what not to remove from Hijack this.

Then why not direct HJT logs to one of the forums where you are an admin? I
don't like seeing HJT logs on here either. Two reasons:
1) It makes searching harder
2) This newsgroup is not moderated. Also it is copied to many forums.
Someone other than you may answer a post wrongly. The post will be archived
forever on Google causing no end of grief. HJT logs should only be posted
where there is a moderator that can remove harmful answers.

Thank Gawd! We all know that it is a Microsoft product that allows the
problems in the first place. At least Hijackthis attempts to allow one to
fix problems that originate because of the inherent insecurities of XP.

Have you been MicroShafted today?
To mess up a Linux box, you need to work *at* it.
To mess up a Windows box, you need to work *on* it.
2) No 2 hjt logs are the same. Anybody who follows advice not directed to
them deserves exactly what they get. The same goes for any advice given in
this group not just hjt.
3) Every other log is acceptable and so is hjt logs.
4) It's a Microsoft problem because it is their system being affected, that
makes it appropriate for this group.

Nevertheless it happens a lot. A lot of the posts start with something like
this: I tried this fix I found on another forum and now my system has
stopped working. In a moderated forum or newsgroup posts that are obviously
wrong and could cause problems can be removed. Here they are not.

The other logs don't pollute the forum with file names.

I agree it is a problem with systems using Microsoft products. That doesn't
mean this is the appropriate place to deal with it.

But we (Microsoft) do.
So please accept this request to no longer ask for log files to be posted to
our newsgroups.
If you wish to have a poster send you a log for analysis then provide them
with the appropriate facility to send you the file (e-mail address, FTP
site, etc etc).

Also the section above may be viewed as a personal attack or slur on another

Action may be taken against persistent breaches of these by posters.

Well Mike Brannigan, a Microsoft employee and a News Server admin., has put his voice into
this thread requesting you to stop posting HJT logs. I think that should be the final word
on this subject.

Ditto from me.

Please Reply to the Newsgroup
1) Fix your operating system.
2) Tell your customers who are here for help to not posts spyware issues in
this group, because if the fix is to use HJT then I am going to tell them to
use it period!
3) Change the name of this group or create another one, not very hard to do.
4) Educate your MVP's about flame wars and the consequences of getting
involved in them, they should know better but they don't. They represent MS
and was given the status because of there contribution, flame wars is not
contributing. It only takes one email.
5) Ignore me and my posts, put me in your killfile, not hard to do.

These newsgroups are peer to peer support groups and the majority of the
