It was smitfraud. I used smitrem to remove it.

[fliptop]

It's back again, in the bottom right hand corner, "your computer is infected!" please help me!

[fliptop]

the name of this bad boy is "spyware quake". It is most frustrating. Ewido tries to catch it on startup, but it installs anyway, tells you in a pop up window in the lower right that "Your computer is infected!", then comes the fake software called "spyware quake" that does a bogus scan of your registry then tries to redirect your browser to their website. is there a way to put these people behind bars? This is criminal. I have wasted one day to no avail. many shut downs.... please help...

Try following the instructions here.

Looks like the same family.

Let me know how it works out.

Edited by little eagle, 25 March 2006 - 11:08 AM.

[fliptop]

nope didn't work. I'd tried smitrem before, tried it again and again. Tried to stick fixsf in the reg, but since there was no falcon to remove from the remove programs program, registry wouldn't let me do it. When I restart 'puter, there comes bad boy blinking away in the lower right corner, with the occasional pop up, there it is, "your computer is infected!" and then some more info with a few grammatical mistakes... I saw someone on google had the infection too, I suppose more and more people will be asking for help... It's a spyaxe like virus, tries to get you to buy "spyware quake" which it installs but which is a fake front end... what a bummer. even ewido doesn't catch it yet, though yahoo anti-spy did find something in the registry. There's a file called mssearchnet.exe that it installs in system32 that ewido tries to block on startup...

[little eagle]

Remove SpywareQuake in Add/Remove programs via the Control panel. if there.

Also who is you ISP

Download Ewido Security Suite it is a trial version of the program.

• Install ewido security suite
• Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
• The program will now go to the main screen

You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.

• On the left hand side of the main screen click update
• Then click on Start Update

The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update Ewido.
Ewido manual updates

Once the updates are installed do the following:

• Click on scanner
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.
• You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
• If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
• DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
• If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.

Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
Click Save report.
Save the report .txt file to your desktop.
Now close ewido security suite and post the results here.
With a new hijackthis log.

ok I've done all that. They have a fix over at another site but it doesn't work on my computer. I cannot get the registry file "fixsq" to write into to editor. I get the error: cannot import there may be a disk or file system error. for the hundredth time I went into safemode and did the smitrem thing. Here's a hijackthis log:

I removed the registry entry for spyware quake:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"SpywareQuake"


but could not find these files, that are from the "fixsq" file that will not load into the reg editor:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SharedTaskScheduler]
"{E2CA7CD1-1AD9-F1C4-3D2A-DC1A33E7AF9D}"=-

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{E2CA7CD1-1AD9-F1C4-3D2A-DC1A33E7AF9D}]

also this weird software called prevx1 tried to remove it, but then would not let me remove the program from the remove program list. It demanded to "isolate" the uninstall file into it's "jail". So I had to just delete the spywarequake file from the program files..

I am very frustrated...

the balloon "youc computer is infected!" still keeps coming up.

[LDTate]

Delete these if found:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\stickrep.dll <--File
C:\Program Files\SpywareQuake <--Folder

[fliptop]

yes, yes, finally 12 hours later, but be advised, you must be in safe mode to delete stickrep.dll. That's all folks! What a nasty bad bad boy. thanks thank everyone who helped. The world is a much better place without ol' "spywarequake" around. Hurrah!

Please post a new HJt log, there is more that needs to go.

How are you doing with the fix?

[fliptop]

fix went just fine and 'puter works just fine after I removed stickrep.dll from system32, which I had to do in safe mode as the silly pop up ad it kept showing for the bogus anti- spyware software meant that it could not be removed from system32 while running. i just left the yahoo toolbar stuff in the registry. should I remove it? I use yahoo toolbar... thanks
