saved HJTlog=wrong format.

I tried to copy and paste a HJT log to a reply virtualdr thread after running HJT and saved the log. The log was saved as a notepad.
VirtualDr and MS office did not accept this format: When I pasted the log to virtuadr, a message said "wrong format", and when I copy the log file to the clip board, a message said "wrong format" too.
Please show me a way to change my log format.
I have IrfanView.
Thank you.

With the log open in notepad , click in the listings , select all (ctrl a) , copy (ctrl c) and when writting your message in VirtualDr , paste with ctrl v.

The first time you click save log in hijackthis, it saves the file as a .log file then opens the .log in notepad, when it opens the file in notepad you can select and copy as above , or file - save as (change file type to text) and save the copy as a .txt file for opening in any editor - notepad - word etc

Or you could always open notepad, drag the hijackthis.log file into the window and copy from there.
