I hope that I've been doing the right thing.
Post #4
You are doing fine, I really did not need the HJT log, but this is ok. The stuff you did post was a sure indication of Smitfraud. The c:\rapport.txt confirms it also. I see you already have ewido, so just update it and run it as suggested in this link, along with using the clean function of SmitfraudFix.
Post the three logs suggested at the end of the instructions, I will check to see if there is more to do as soon as possible after that. Let me know how the computer is running now.

It's really frustating that my mozilla firefox keeps quiting. Even opening this site, my web browser won't allow me to. I opened this site using Internet Explorer. I'm used to and prefer mozilla firefox and I do hope that you can help me on this. I think that's the only thing I realised after I did all of the instructions given.

Thanks.

A little more to do, and let's clean some, please do this:

Your Java program need an update: http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.php?p=1…amp;postcount=2

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/public-beta/ATF-Cleaner.exe
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

(first item is not working right if at all. If you use it download it again when we are done)

old SpySweeper line

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

You don't have to post again unless you want to and should be good to go.
I have Firefox and use IE all of the time. My suggestion would be to uninstall the program and download it again…it is free. Here is the Google on Firefox troubleshooting:

ewido is a great program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:
