HijackThis Log File - can someone take a wee look? :-)

Mery Christmas to all on the forum!

Below I have copied my HijackThis log file after I ran it just a second ago.

It mentioned to check with experts before i deleted anything.

You may notice alot of winmx entries in my hosts file, but I have put them there and this is not something someone else has done.

Any help is appreciated.

Picco

The v21 and the partypoker items are the ones that stand out to me. Unless you play partypoker it shouldn't be on your system. v21 may be some software of yours but it doesn't seem like its necessary to run. It also looks like they tried to set your homepage for you but again this could be your doing not sure.

Thanks AeroSpace,

The v21 is (vTwoOne) the ISP. So that is 100% Safe.
The partypoker is 100% Safe as I play it.
The homepage seems to be working OK though.

I was told elsewhere to remove any that said 'File Missing', which I did.

Picco

is it just the entries marked "(file missing)" that i should remove?

Picco

are there any experts on HijackThis?

Remove the missing file ones, and look into the kizlo.exe ones. They say its an "IE optimizer" though I've never heard of such thing and really how "optimized" can you make IE, its already bad as it is.

turns out kizlo.exe is a virus. for anyone looking for info in the future - remove it.

Yeah, it's some kind of trojan. Make sure you run an updated AVG virus scan or whatever to ensure that your system is malware free. Run other tools such as spybot and adaware as well.

This program is malware and is not considered safe, it is part of a Malware group sometimes referred to as Covert.Sys.Exec. It should be Jailed:
