secthought.e

[ashdavic]

i have read all the posts on the secthought.e trojan. i cannot seem to remove it. i ran AVG and it would not let me move it to the virus vault. i did all the adware and spybot stuff and then ran avg again. secthought.e still came up. i have a hijack this log, but i dont know if im allowed to post it w/o authorization. i wouldn' even know where to post it anyways. i am very confused. i cant remove this trojan and its really anooying. any help would be appreciated!undefined

check this site
on the left panel (under recommended sites) there is a wealth of hijack-cleaning forums.
post your log on ONE of those
