Post #1
Anyone that could help me I would really appreciate it.

I have tried McAfee, Ad Aware and Spybot S&D without success in my IE Browser hijack.

I am taken to SafetyHomePage dot net each and every time when clicking on the IE Browser.

Netscape broswer is not affected (Thankfully!!!)

1) Download SmitfraudFix.zip by S!Ri from here and save it to your Desktop.
You will then need to extract the files.
To do this: Right click on the zipped folder and from the menu that appears, click on Extract All…
In the 'Extraction Wizard' window that opens, click on Next> and in the next window that appears, click on Next> again.
In the final window, click on Finish

2) Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Press "1" and then to start the search process.
When the search has completed, a text file, rapport.txt, will open with the results in - Copy and paste this report into your next reply.

A copy of the report can be found in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed.
For most, this file can be found by double-clicking My Computer and then Local Disk (C:)

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.

This fix is based on a canned speech supplied by Kimberly.

Also, run HJT and click on Open the Misc Tools section.
In the next window, click on Open Uninstall Manager…
In the final window, click on Save list… and save it to your Desktop.
Copy and paste the file uninstall_list.txt into your next reply.

You will need to make a copy of these instructions because you have to disconnect from the internet to complete the fix. Either print them out or copy and paste them into Notepad.

Preparation

1) Download the trial version of Ewido anti-spyware from here and save it to your Desktop.
If you already have this program installed, skip to Updating Ewido: below.

* Please note that these instructions are for the new version - Ewido anti-spyware. If you have the old version - Ewido anti-malware and it is the:
  • paid-for version - you will need to go here and obtain an updated license code before you upgrade.
  • free version - you will need to uninstall it and reboot before installing the new version.
Double click the ewido-setup file to begin installation and follow the prompts.
When the program has been installed, and you click the Finish button, Ewido anti-spyware will open.
  • Updating Ewido:

    By default Ewido is configured to update automatically so, if you have an active internet connection, it should do so following installation. If you are unsure whether or not it has done so, do the following:
  • Click the Update icon at the top and under "Manual Update" - click the Start update button.
  • Either Ewido will update or inform you that no update was available.
  • If you cannot access the internet with the infected PC, or you are having problems updating, you can download the signatures file from here.
    Once you have installed Ewido, double click ewido-signatures-full-current.exe to update it.

    Disabling the Resident Shield:
  • By default the Resident Shield is active but as it may interfere with the process of cleaning your PC, it will need to be disabled.
    (When the PC has been cleaned you can activate the shield again, if you wish.)
  • Click the Shield icon at the top and under "Resident shield is…" - click active.
  • This should now change to inactive.

    Changing Recommended Actions
  • Click the Scanner icon at the top and then click the Settings Tab.
  • Under "How to act?" click Recommended actions and select "Quarantine" from the menu.
You can now close Ewido anti-spyware.

Ewido anti-spyware is designed to be used to both scan for and remove malicious files and also to run in real-time alongside, but not replace, your existing anti-virus program to give an added layer of protection.
Both the Resident Shield and Automatic Updates will only be available for the thirty day trial period, after that Ewido will revert to a stand-alone scanner which you can keep and manually update for free and use in a similar way to Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot S&D etc.
Should you wish to benefit from the real-time protection, you will need to upgrade the program. To do this, simply open it and click on the Buy now button.

2) You will need to know how to boot into Safe Mode.
Instructions can be found here.

3) You will need to set Windows to show All Hidden Files and Folders.
Instructions can be found here.
** These files are hidden to stop you accidentally removing something important.
It is advisable to hide them again after fixing your computer. **

4) Log off from the internet and disconnect your modem cable for the duration of the fix.

Removal

1) Boot into Safe Mode.

2) Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Press "2" and then to start the cleaning process.
  • Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
  • You will be prompted "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ? Press "Y" and then .
  • The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to "Replace infected file ?" - press "Y" and then .
Your PC now needs to be rebooted. If this does not happen automatically, you will need to do so manually. Either way, your PC will need to be booted back INTO SAFE MODE.

3) Navigate to the C:\Windows\Temp folder and delete all the files that you find there.
Do this for all Usernames.

4) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp and delete all the files that you find there.
Do this for all Usernames.

5) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options and under Temporary Internet files, click on Delete Files…
Check the box to the left of 'Delete all offline content' and then click on OK.

6) Go to Start > Control Panel > Display.
Select the Desktop Tab, click on Customise Desktop… and then select the Web Tab.
Under Web pages: you may see a checked entry called Security info - or similar. Highlight this entry and then click the Delete button.
Finally click OK > Apply > OK.

7) Empty the Recycle Bin.

8) Ensure that ALL open Windows / Programs / Folders are closed and then run Ewido anti-spyware.
  • If it is not already selected, click the Scanner icon at the top and then select the Scan Tab.
  • Click "Complete System Scan"
  • While the scan is in progress the PC should be left otherwise idle - so if you fancy a cuppa, now's the time to put the kettle on!
  • When the scan has completed, any threats that Ewido has detected will be displayed.
  • Click the Apply all actions button at the bottom.
  • When Ewido has finished, it will display the message "All actions have been applied".

    Saving a report:
  • Click the Save Report button at the bottom left and the "Reports" window will open.
  • The content of the scan report will be displayed in the right hand pane and a copy will be automatically saved as Report-Scan-date-time.txt into the C:\Program Files\ewido anti-spyware 4.0\Reports folder.
  • You will need to post a copy of this report into your next reply, so if it is more convenient, you can save another copy of this report elsewhere:
    Click the Save report as button and select a destination by clicking the down arrow to the right of the Save in: text box and then click Save.
Close Ewido Anti-Spyware.

9) Reboot into Normal Mode.

10) Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Press "3" and then to "Delete Trusted Zone".
When prompted "Restore Trusted Zone ?", press "Y" and then .

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

Will you then post the following:
  • A new HJT log,
  • The Ewido log,
  • The text file rapport.txt that will be found in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed.
    For most, this file can be found by double-clicking My Computer and then Local Disk (C:)
  • A description of how your PC is behaving.
This fix is based on a canned speech supplied by Kimberly.
Post #5
Kimberly, Thank You, It Worked!!!!!

I had to restore the default homepage back to something other than SafetyHomePage dot net, but after doing that, everything seems to be working fine. Before I could not change the default home page setting, now I can.

Here is my latest logs you requested:

KIMBERLY OR ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD CARE TO RESPOND….. I CURRENTLY HAVE MCAFEE AND AD AWARE SE AS MY VIRUS PROTECTION SOFTWARE…. SHOULD I ONLY RUN EDWIDO AS MY PROTECTION PROGRAM….OR RUN EDWIDO IN COMBINATION WITH ONE OF THE ABOVE? Thanks. Mike

1) You will need to disable Windows Defender's real-time protection, if it is running, as it may interfere with the fix. To do this:
Open Windows Defender:
  • Go to "Tools" > "General Settings"
  • Scroll down to "Real-time protection options"
  • Uncheck "Turn on real-time protection (recommended)"
  • Click Save.
2) You will need to disable Ewido's Guard function, if it is running, as it may interfere with the fix. To do this:
Open Ewido.
Click the Shield icon at the top and under "Resident shield is…" - click active.
This should now change to inactive.

3) You will need to disable Ad-Aware's Ad-Watch protection, if it is running, as it may interfere with the fix. To do this:
Open Ad-Aware and go to the Ad-Watch User Interface and click on "Tools and Preferences".
Uncheck both the Active and Automatic options at the bottom of the screen.

4) Reboot your PC.

5) Run HijackThis as you did to generate a log, but this time click on 'Do a system scan only'.
Place a checkmark in the boxes to the left of the following entries, by clicking on them:

CLOSE ALL OPEN WINDOWS AND BROWSERS - EXCEPT HJT and click on Fix checked

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are running an old version of Sun Java which needs updating:
  • Go here and click on the Download button to the right of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 8.
  • Accept the license agreement by clicking the radio button.
  • Under Windows Platform - J2SE™ Runtime Enviroment 5.0 Update 8, click the Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language link.
  • Go to Add/Remove Programs and remove any entries that refer to Java 2 Runtime Enviroment and then reboot your PC.
  • Navigate to and delete the following folder, if it exists: C:\Program Files\Java.
  • Finally double click the installation file that you downloaded earlier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As long as the above goes OK, I want you to run your PC as normal for a few days. When you are happy that everything is fine, do the following:

Update your anti-virus program,
Disable System Restore,
Boot into Safe Mode,
Scan your computer for viruses.
When you get the all clear, reboot into Normal Mode.
Re-enable System Restore,
Create a Restore Point.
This will give a clean Restore Point should you need it in the future.
A tutorial for System Restore is available here.

The reason for waiting is that if removing the malware has caused a problem, which it occasionally does, you can put your PC back to how it was before the fix. This will re-install the malware, but an infected PC is better than an expensive paperweight!

Some bedtime reading: This is a very good tutorial about keeping your computer safe and secure on the internet.

Typing in capital letters is the equivalent of shouting and won't earn you too many Brownie points on a forum!

If you look at my earlier post, you will see that I have already partly answered this question,

Ewido anti-spyware is designed to be used to both scan for and remove malicious files and also to run in real-time alongside, but not replace, your existing anti-virus program to give an added layer of protection.
Both the Resident Shield and Automatic Updates will only be available for the thirty day trial period, after that Ewido will revert to a stand-alone scanner which you can keep and manually update for free and use in a similar way to Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot S&D etc.
Should you wish to benefit from the real-time protection, you will need to upgrade the program. To do this, simply open it and click on the Buy now button.

Ewido is designed to run with your AV program and not instead of it. You can keep Ad-Aware as well if you choose, but you may find that your PC runs slower as the processor is having to run an extra program in real-time.

Hi,

After about a week, the computer seems to be working pretty well - no browser hijacks of any kind. Except Edwido keeps finding the following same items (which I delete time after time). Also, I notice the internet browser says "about:blank" before going to the correct web page. I have never seen this before in the web page address line….it shows this every time before going to the correct web site address.

A cookie is a way of identifying a PC when it returns to a site, rather like a badge. It enables a site to automatically log you in or display the pages according to a choice made in a previous visit.
A lot of cookies are specific to the site that put them there, but some sites share these cookies which enables them to build up a picture of your internet usage - they enable your surfing to be "tracked", hence the term "tracking cookie".
The reason you keep getting these detected is you keep going to sites that put them there - that's the price of surfing.
The only information they offer a site that uses this type of cookie is the surfing history with respect to the sites that use a particular tracking cookie.
If you run a quick scan each evening after surfing, they present nothing more than a minor annoyance, so don't worry about them.

As to the browser issue, i've not come across it before but I suspect it's probably down to Ewido.
I wouldn't worry about it unless there are any other issues.
