Dear Moderator,

Can you please help. Thank you very much

I am having problems with my browser "Opera," which seems to have contracted a virus or something. Also I completely uninstalled it and re-installed and still have the same problem, so I think I have a virus somewhere on my computer. The shell and the web page I am on all of the sudden changes color to reds, orange and yellow and some greens colors. This happens at various times. Sometimes when I am surfing on the net or if I open Microsoft Windows. Can you look at my Hijack thread. Thank you. Also all files are visible and I have run the suggested virus software. Are Spybot and Adware SE still the programs of choice? Thanx.

Gordon

Thank You Gordon.

I also was wondering if someone can tell me if it would be a good idea or not to delete the isafe program that is running with ZoneAlarm. Do you know "exactly" what it does? Is it necessary? If you don't know I can accept that answer also.

Also what is the latest, best anivirus, anti trojan, or necessary security programs? In other words what do I need to do to protect my computer online.

Thanks Again,

Andrew :)

Hi Andrew,

I don't use ZoneAlarm, so I'm not sure what isafe does, but at this point I would keep it.
I also don't see any problems in your HJT log.


click Start | Run | (type) cleanmgr | then "OK"
Let it scan your system for files to remove.
Make sure Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files, and Recycle Bin are the only things checked.
Click "OK" to remove them.
Click "Yes" to confirm the deletion.


Please download and run a Free Trial of Trojan Hunter
If any infected files are found, delete them.

Next, take a free Online Virus scan at HouseCall and Panda ActiveScan
If any infected files are found, delete them.
Then please post the log from them.

And let us know if you still have any concerns....
