No, per the instructions under selfhelp/how to remove spy falcon, etc…

http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?showtopic=61697

I installed SmitFraudfix and ewido, ran SmitFraudfix then submitted my log. I did however run SmitRem, suggested by another site and it removed the pop-ups installed by spy falcon. But my browser is still getting hijacked.

Thanks so much for your efforts…..

Running the Clean


Reboot your computer in Safe Mode.
  • If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
  • Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
  • Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
  • Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
  • Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
  • Login on your usual account.

Looks good :thumbup:

You need to visit windows and get all updates. You're 2 service packs behind. :thumbdown:


1.Do one of the following:
In Windows 98/Me/2000, on the Windows desktop, double-click the My Computer icon.
In Windows XP, on the taskbar, click Start > My Computer.

2.Do one of the following:
In Windows 98, on the View menu, click Folder Options.
In Windows Me/2000/XP, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
On the View tab, check Hide file extensions for known file types.

3.Do one of the following:
In Windows 98, in the Advanced Settings box, under the "Hidden files" folder, unclick Show all files.
In Windows Me/2000/XP, check Hide protected operating system files. Then, under the "Hidden files" folder, unclick Show hidden files and folders.
If you see a warning message, click Yes.
Click Apply.
Click OK.



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

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Yes this machine hasn't been running for a couple of years so thier's quite a bit of tweaking to do still. Why do you recommend to hide system and hidden folders? Actually more so what part of the log told you that were exposed? <_<

Why do you recommend to hide system and hidden folders?

So you don't delete any of them.

Actually more so what part of the log told you that were exposed?
