Someone with PC skillz - Help!

[Savage]

Well, SOMEHOW I got the stupid wowfx.dll error malware, and it's REALLY anoying , but before I joined any other forums to ask how to get rid of it, I thought I'd ask here first to see if anyone knows what to look for in Hijack This! and stuff, because most other forums ask for HJT logs and such, and I don't want to join one unless I have to. So if anyone can help me, please do! ;D

Cheers,
Jake.

P.S. Just google "wowfx.dll error" do see what I'm on about.

Do you has a virus scanner thing? I thought they removed stuff like that for you. If you don't then I can give you links to free ones.

I've never used HJT before. Sorry for not being helpful. lol.

I'd look into an anti-virus program or even something to remove spyware

If you're looking at something to remove spyware, get Ad--Aware 2007. I would update the definition files upon start-up of the program, You can then scan your full system and remove all spyware. To prevent spyware get spywareblaster, again update the database, and enable all protection. Before I downloaded these programs form cnet's download.com, I had tons of malware, now over about 3 months of using them Only 9 have managed to get into my system. Also to protect against virus's get avast anitvirus.

Thanks for the replies! I just though "stuff this" and went to the folder it was error-izing, and deleted the file, and it fixed it haha. I'll d/l those anti-malware products though, I have an annoying one which Spybot can't defeat

Glad you got it off.
