Hello richwigs, welcome to the forum.

Please download the trial version of ewido anti-malware 3.5 here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.


Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.


Then please run Ewido, click on the Scanner run a full scan and let it clean everything it finds. Save the logfile from the scan.


Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

[richwigs]

I have tried 3 times to run a scan in safe mode but have not been able to complete without PC locking up. I will try again tomorrow, any other suggestions?

[richwigs]

Got the scan to run. Here is the result along with a hijack this log. My browser has also been hijacked t. Thanks---------------------------------------------------------

smitfraud, has been updated. I would suggest you delete the one you have now and download it again.


I suggest you do this:

Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

O2 - BHO: HomepageBHO - {e0103cd4-d1ce-411a-b75b-4fec072867f4} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\hpA20E.tmp

O3 - Toolbar: CM Band - {159C2E51-9823-11D2-8DDC-D84A1B4ACD4D} - C:\Program Files\Crystalys media\cm.dll

O16 - DPF: {37F74365-1E94-58AA-0433-6D817CA58CCB} - http://85.255.113.214/1/gdnUS2297.exe

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"


Delete this File if listed.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hpA20E.tmp


Delete this Folder if listed.
C:\Program Files\Crystalys media



1. Open My Computer
2. Right click on your hard drive that you wish to clean (C drive, for example)
3. In the context menu that opens, select properties
4. Under the general tab you should select Disk Cleanup
5. Windows will scan your drive which will take a few seconds/minutes
6. A box will display the various files you can remove.
Check all boxes except compress old files (If listed)
7. Click OK and windows will comply.

Restart your computer.

Now try the smitfraud fix again.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

[richwigs]

I have run the 1st part of your steps but can't get the smitfraud to not lock up my pc.

I have tried deleting, re-downloading smit from noahd numerous times. After I double click thr runthis.bat and press any key to continue, my pc locks up. Is there a different place to get smitfraud?

My pc is slow but not as slow as when I started. My homepage lists as mlb.com in tools, internet opts but comes up systemsecurityindex.com when I launch IE brower.

Here is a new log w/o the smitfraud fix done.

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.

I would also suggest you read this:
