Hello coe, welcome to the forum. Sorry about the delay in responding :( If you still need help, Scan again with HijackThis, and copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
I have thankfully got the problem fixed, so no worries! :D I appreciate it though.

One thing has come up though. While scanning with Spybot S&D, it finds 37 registries under "Smitfraud-C." I looked it up and I guess it's a trojan? Spybot can't remove it and asks to run at my next startup, but even when i restart and it scans again, it still can't remove it (it asks to run at startup again). If you have any insight, I'd appreciate it (it's not major like my about:blank problem was). My HijackThis log is below. Thanks again for your attention!

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing. :D
Unfortunately, I still have this Smitfraud popping up when I scan with Spybot. I have attached 2 screenshots from my last scan a few minutes ago to give you a better idea of what I mean. I have restarted with Spybot, but even then it still says it cannot remove them. Granted, I notice nothing out of the ordinary, so these could have been rendered useless from all the scanning and cleaning from earlier scans. Any input is appreciated! :weee:

I recommend you download RegSeeker. Extract it to it's own folder, open and double click RegSeeker.exe to start the program. Maximize the window and click clean registry. Check all sections and click OK. When the scan is complete, verify the backup box in lower left corner is checked and click the select all button, then select all again. Then right click within the search results and select delete. Run it again and again, deleting everything it finds until it finds nothing. Reboot and make sure your programs are working properly, control panel and add/remove programs windows open, etc (basically just do a quick check of everything). In the event anything was 'broken', you can open RegSeeker, click backups and double click any/all files to put the information back. A reboot may be required for the effects to be seen. When done, and post a new log.


Let me know how's running now.
I cleared about 4,000 registries (everything seems to work as it did before), but Spybot still shows the same 37 registries under Smitfraud-C. I have not noticed any differences since discovering them, and nothing was different before I found them either. Since I see their locations, is there a way to simply delete them "manually"? Or are they really just benign (not likely I guess)…My HijackThis log is below

Since I see their locations, is there a way to simply delete them "manually"?

I don't see why not. Does SpyBot give you the option do select them and remove?
Spybot says it cannot remove them because they are "in use (memory)", and asks to scan upon restarting. The same thing happens when I restart with Sypbot though. I have looked in Registry editor and see a lot of "junk" like the stuff Spybot picks up in "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2376740472-2752991226-3942243025-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\" Would deleting them in Registry Editor get rid of them, or is it like with Startpage-DU.dll where it regenerates new files unless something is completely erased? Thanks a lot for your input!

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing. :D
