Hello olddude and welcome to the TC Forums.

Please do the following:

Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.
http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip
Extract all the files to your Destop. A folder named SmitfraudFix will be created on your Desktop.

[external image: Posted Image]

______________________________

Please download the trial version of Ewido anti-malware 3.5 from here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Install Ewido anti-malware.
When installing, under Additional Options uncheck Install background guard and Install scan via context menu.
When you run Ewido for the first time, you could get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click Ok.
The program will prompt you to update. Click the Ok button.
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 the Update Button.
Click on Start.

The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
Once finished updating, close Ewido.

If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update ewido.
Ewido manual updates. Make sure to close Ewido before installing the update.
______________________________

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press Enter

[external image: Posted Image]

This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works. When it is done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other options until you are asked to do so!

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

Clean

Please print out or copy these instructions/tutorial to Notepad as the internet will not be (while in Safe Mode) available to you at certain points of the removal process. Make sure to work through all the Steps in the exact order in which they are listed below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before moving on with the fixes.

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.

______________________________

Open the SmitfraudFix Folder, then double-click smitfraudfix.cmd file to start the tool.
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press Enter.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?" answer Yes by typing Y and hit Enter.

[external image: Posted Image]

The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. If a clean version is found, you will be prompted to replace wininet.dll. Answer Yes to the question "Replace infected file ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.

A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process, if you computer does not restart automatically please do it yourself manually. Reboot in Safe Mode.

The tool will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.
______________________________

Clean out your Temporary Internet files. Proceed like this:

Quit Internet Explorer and quit any instances of Windows Explorer.
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click Delete Files under Temporary Internet Files.
In the Delete Files dialog box, tick the Delete all offline content check box , and then click OK.
On the General tab, click Delete Cookies under Temporary Internet Files, and then click OK.
Click on the Programs tab then click the Reset Web Settings button. Click Apply then OK.
Click OK.

Next Click Start, click Control Panel and then double-click Display. Click on the Desktop tab, then click the Customize Desktop button. Click on the Web tab. Under Web Pages you should see a checked entry called Security info or something similar. If it is there, select that entry and click the Delete button. Click Ok then Apply and Ok.

Empty the Recycle Bin by right-clicking the Recycle Bin icon on your Desktop, and then clicking Empty Recycle Bin.
______________________________

Close ALL open Windows / Programs / Folders. Please start Ewido, and run a full scan.

Click on Scanner
Click on Settings
- Under How to scan all boxes should be checked
- Under Unwanted Software all boxes should be checked
- Under What to scan select Scan every file
- Click on Ok
Click on Complete System Scan to start the scan process.
Let the program scan the machine.

If Ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. When it asks if you want to clean the first file, put a checkmark in the lower left corner of the box that says Perform action on all infections and put a checkmark in the box next to Create encrypted backup, then choose clean and click Ok.

Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save Report.

Click Save Report button
Save the report to your Desktop

Close Ewido and Reboot in Normal Mode.
______________________________

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #3 - Delete Trusted zone by typing 3 and press Enter
Answer Yes to the question "Restore Trusted Zone ?" by typing
Y and hit Enter.

Note, if you use SpywareBlaster and/or IE-SPYAD, it will be necessary to re-install the protection both afford. For SpywareBlaster, run the program and re-protect all items. For IE-SPYAD, run the batch file and reinstall the protection.

Hey Susan! sure can!

also have ran spy-bot & ad-aware & Ewido. "security" ad pop-ups still showed, along with spyfalcon
being active. so…using msconfig..have stopped them from loading & being a nuisance.
all are still on pc but, not sure what else to do? *shrugs*
Thanks for your time.

Oh! have also done "folder" thing, yesterday.
"Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."

this hjt log is after doing all of above.

Hello olddude,

I will consult some others about this. But please do the following which may give us more information. I understand that you cannot boot into Safe Mode at all. Did this just start or have you had this problem awhile?

STEP 1.
======
Silent Runners

Download Silentrunners.zip from here and unzip it a new folder on your desktop.

Run the SilentRunners.vbs file.
You will receive a prompt: "Do you want to skip supplementary searches?" - click NO
If your antivirus has a script blocker, you will get a warning asking if you want to allow SilentRunners.vbs to run.
This script is not malicious so please allow it.
A text file will appear in the folder - it's not done, let it run (it won't appear to be doing anything!)
Once the "All Done!" prompt flashes up, open the text file and copy & paste it in your next reply.

It just occured to me…I have some programs/services disabled & manual in Services.msc. could 1 of these prevent changing to safe mode?

Post #9May 17, 2006, 8:07 PM UTC

I would go ahead and try to enable them and see if it helps. Also after you enable them please post another hijackthis and let me see if something shows up.

Hello olddude,

Maybe this will help with the safe mode issue. Please try this first to see if you can boot into safe mode and then boot back into normal mode.

–To boot into safe mode
Download BootSafe
Save it to the Desktop.
Double click the BootSafe icon to start the program.
Select Safe Mode – Minimal
Click the Reboot button

–To boot back into normal mode
Now, run BootSafe once again
Select: Normal Restart
Click the Reboot button for the computer to reboot in Normal Mode.

If this works then go back to the Smitfraud fix and use this utility to boot into safe mode where it asks you to use safe mode.

WooHoo! Tx Susan! bootsafe worked! did all above steps.
spy axe & other adware seem to be gone. but…you're the expert, you tell me.
I ran all apps before un-quarantine virus from ad-aware, then after.
will post logs of both.
had HJT logs after both steps. must have lost 1. wanted to post for camparison.
thought they might be of some use.

Hello olddude,

Things look much better! How does your computer seem to be running now? Let's tidy up your hijackthis log a little.

Disable Microsoft AntiSpyware:
We need to disable your Microsoft AntiSpyware Real-time Protection as it may interfere with the fixes that we need to make.

Open Microsoft AntiSpyware
Click on Tools, Settings.
In the left pane, click on Real-time Protection
Under Startup Options uncheck Enable the Microsoft AntiSpyware Security Agents
Under Real-time spyware threat protection uncheck Enable real-time spyware threat protection (recommended).
After you uncheck these, click on the Save button and close Microsoft AntiSpyware.
Right click on the Microsoft AntiSpyware icon on the taskbar and select Shutdown Microsoft AntiSpyware.

After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable Real-time Protection again. Better yet, uninstall it and replace it with Microsoft Windows Defender. Microsoft Antispyware has been updated and renamed Microsoft Windows Defender. You can download the new version from http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s…re/default.mspx

Disable TeaTimer:
Please disable TeaTimer as it may hinder the removal of some entries. You can re-enable it after you're clean.To disable TeaTimer:

Run Spybot-S&D
Go to the Mode menu , and make sure "Advanced Mode " is selected
On the left hand side, choose Tools -> Resident
Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer " and OK any prompts
Restart your computer.

After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable TeaTimer again.

Scan with HijackThis. Place a check against each of the following:
O2 - BHO: Nothing - {f79fd28e-36ee-4989-aa61-9dd8e30a82fa} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp631E.tmp (file missing)
O4 O16 - DPF: {CAFEEFAC-0015-0000-0004-ABCDEFFEDCBA} -
Close all windows or browsers except for Hijackthis. Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and we will take another look.

Hello olddude,

Just a few minor things. Did you uninstall the old java?

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\bin\jusched.exe

I would have expected to see
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\jusched.exe

You also decided to keep Microsoft AntiSpyware instead of going to the Windows Defender?
