Hi; I have windows xp that has SpywareStrike 2.5 embedded in it so far, that I can't seem to get rid of it. I've ran Spybot, Ad-Ware and Norton anti-virus and it's still there. I ran a scan from symantec and found out where some of it is and got rid of the stuff in the registry, but I'm led to believe there is more in here than I know how to get rid of. I've ran a Hijackthis log file and I'm saving it so I can send when you say it's ok Is there anything you can do for me? Thanks Rick

Please provide a HijackThis log, version 1.99.1

If that is not the version you have, then download from the following link:
http://www.majorgeek...wnload3155.html

Make sure HijackThis is in its own folder.

Create a folder like: C:\Program Files\HijackThis, or, if you want to keep it on the Desktop, right click an empty area, select New > Folder, name the folder HijackThis, and place the HijackThis.exe file in it.

HijackThis makes backups of what is fixed/removed, and needs its own folder to create and keep these secure in case they are needed.

Run the program, and click on the Scan button

When the Scan finishes click: Save Log

Please do not engage in fixing anything showing up on the log. Just have the program create it, and copy/paste it to this thread.

I will be notified if you post a new log, and will be glad to assist you.

Sorry it took me so long to get this back to you, thanks for your help

rick44,

Your log is showing some remnants of the SmitFraud malware component and its variants.

You may want to copy of these instructions to NotePad and save the on the Desktop, or print them, since you will not be able to connect to the Internet during most of this procedure.

Please download SmitRem.exe and save the file to the Desktop.
Double click on the file to extract it to it's own folder on the Desktop.
Do not do anything else for now.

Download AdAware SE from the following link:
http://www.majorgeek...ownload506.html
Use Check for Updates Now' option and download the latest reference files
Do not scan yet.

Download Ewido Anti-Malware:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Press: Download Now
In the folder where EWIDO is located, double click the EWIDO Setup file
When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
Follow the prompts and reboot when done.

Now, go to Start > All Programs > Ewido
Select: Security Suite

When the program starts, do an online update for the latest signature files
An Update Successful prompt appears when done
Do not use the scanner yet.

Now, reboot to Safe Mode:
-Restart your computer
-When the machine first starts again, tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with
a Windows XP Advanced Options menu
-Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys
-Press Enter to boot into Safe Mode

Open HijackThis, Scan
Check box for:

O2 - BHO: HomepageBHO - {4da4616d-7e6e-4fd9-a2d5-b6c535733e22} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\hpACAB.tmp (file missing)

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

Select: Fix Checked

Next, open the SmitRem folder
-Double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool.
-Follow the prompts on screen.
The Desktop and icons disappear and then reappear again --- this is normal.
Wait for the tool to complete and Disk Cleanup to finish --- this may take a while.
When done, the log created by the smitRem tool is located at C:\smitfiles.txt

Next, run AdAware
-Use the Start button, and on the next window, select: Perform Full System Scan
-Press Next, and let Ad-aware scan the hard drive
-When finished, right-click the window with the entries, choose: Select All from the menu, and click Next.
-Once AdAware has removed the entries, close the program

Run Ewido.
-Click on the Scanner button in the left menu
-Next, click on: Complete System Scan

The scan may find malware entries and request action to clean up. Agree.
However, if Ewido finds something that you know is legitimate (for example, parts of AVG Antivirus, pcAnywhere and the game "Risk" have been flagged), do not check: Perform action with all infections. If you are unsure of an entry, select None as the action for the time being.

-Once the scan has completed, click: Save Report
Save the report to the Ewido folder

Restart the computer normally.

Run a Panda online ActiveScan
http://www.pandasoft.../activescan.htm

On the top right go to: Free Use ActiveScan
Select: Free online virus scan

In the prompt that appears: Panda ActiveScan, select the green button: Check Now! At no cost.

Follow the prompts, provide the required info, select: Scan Now!
Allow the ActiveX download.

Select a device to scan: Local Disks

Next, select: See Report
Then select, Save Report and save to a location where you can find the report.



Finally, provide the following in your reply:
The log from the smitRem tool (located at C:\smitfiles.txt)
The Ewido report
The ActiveScan report
A new HijackThis log

[rick44]

Hope I did this right!

Rick

A couple of entries on the HijackThis log need removed, and some files showing up in the Ewido report and the Panda ActiveScan need to go also.

Download ATF Cleaner:
http://www.atribune....tent/view/19/2/
Do not use the program yet.

Run HijackThis once again, Scan
Check box for:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NetMeter] C:\Program Files\NetRatingsNetmeter\NetMeter\NielsenOnline.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [BearShare] "C:\Program Files\BearShare\BearShare.exe" /pause
On the above, unless you installed the paid version without spyware, check box for the entry. Bearshare is known to install spyware, and downloading files in this type of file sharing program is very risky…a lot of infected files are shared on those networks.
Here is some info on File-sharing programs: http://www.spywarein...m/articles/p2p/

Select: Fix Checked

Next, enable the viewing of Hidden Files and Folders as follows:
-At your Desktop, go to Start>My Computer
-Select the Tools menu and then Folder Options
-After the new window appears select the View tab
-Select: Display the contents of system folders
-Under the Hidden files and folders section select: Show hidden files and folders
-Remove the checkmark from Hide file extensions for known file types
-Remove the checkmark from Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
-Press the Apply button
Click OK

Then, reboot to Safe Mode as follows:
-Restart your computer.
-When the machine first starts again, tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu.
-Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys.
-Press Enter to boot into Safe Mode.

Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel
Double-click: Add/Remove Programs

If found, select the following entries:
AltnetPointsManager
Bearshare (if it is not the paid version)
NetGuide, NetRatingsNetmeter, or just Netmeter
P2PNetworking
Click: Change/Remove
Do not reboot.

Still in Safe Mode, search for and, if found, remove the following folders (bold):
C:\Program Files\NetRatingsNetmeter
C:\Program Files\BearShare
C:\Program Files\Altnet

Search for and, if found, remove the following files (bold):
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\WebP2PInstaller.dll
C:\WINDOWS\pcconfig.dat
C:\WINDOWS\smdat32m.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\P2P Networking v126.cpl
C:\WINDOWS\tmlpcert2005

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

When done a prompt appears informing of such.
(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

Restart the computer in normal Windows.

Run HijackThis, Scan, and post a new log.

[FZWG]

Looking good. Are you still having malware problems?

[rick44]

FZWG: I don't think so, it seems to be doing just fine! I believe it's running like it did when it was new!! Thanks so much for your help, I will pass the word along to others that may problems with comps! Thanks again, Rick44

[FZWG]

If you are not having malware problems, you are good to go!

Make sure the viewing of Hidden Files and Folders enabled earlier, is back to its normal settings.
Go back to it and use: Restore Default

Some suggestions to remain malware free:
Tony Klein’s article 'How Did I Get Infected In The First Place'
http://www.wildersse...ead.php?t=27971
Take a look at what the article has to offer and select the programs that suit your needs.

Also, the following are excellent programs that you may want to run on a regular basis:

Microsoft AntiSpyware:
http://www.microsoft...re/default.mspx

AdAware SE:
http://www.majorgeek...ownload506.html

Spybot Search and Destroy:
http://www.majorgeek...wnload2471.html

Thank you for your patience, and performing the procedures requested.
If you have any questions or comments, post back. Otherwise...

Good luck!!
