Thank you for your help
Hi Paul Hasakand welcome to Tom Coyote forums

I am currently looking over your log. As I am an Undergraduate, everything that I post to you must be checked by an Admin or Moderator. Thus, there may be a tiny bit of a delay between posts, but it shouldn't be too long. I will post back shortly with a potential fix.

Thanks for your patience!
Hi Paul Hasak

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

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.

please post smitfraud txt file
in your next post
Thanks dan

Hi Paul Hasak

Ok, log is looking a lot better, how are things with your machine?
Note: if you have set this restriction don't fix with HJT: "O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present"

Run HijackThis, select Do a system scan only and place checks against the following entries (if they are still present)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

WITH ALL OTHER WINDOWS CLOSED Click on Fix Checked and exit

please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner

Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
  • Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
  • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  • Extended (If available otherwise Standard)
  • Scan Options:
  • Scan Archives
  • Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan select My Computer
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  • Now click on the Save as Text button:
  • Save the file to your desktop.
  • Copy and paste that information in your next post.
In your next post include new HJT log and kaspersky log
Can you let me know how things are with your machine
Thanks dan
I'm not having any luck downloading the Kaspersky Online Scanner. It begins to download and then stops saying something about having to be an administrator and/or have security setting set to medium. I was able to reset the security setting to medium but I don't know what to do about the administrator part. I am the only one on this computer and have always had administrative privelelges. Any suggestions? Thanks, Paul
Here is the log. Let me know if there is some way I can download the Kaspersky scanner.

The computer seems to be running fine. I no longer have the blinking triangle in the task bar or the intrusive advertisements for malware programs.

Hi Paul Hasak

Note:Don't forget to make a note of the standard settings, and ensure the you resets after the scan.


Let's check your IE settings and see if we can get an online scan going.
  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click on the Security tab
  • Click the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click on Default Level and click Ok
  • Click on the Custom Level button.
    • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
    • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
    • Check that Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting is set to Enabled or Prompt
    • Check that Run ActiveX controls and plugins is Enabled
    • Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
    • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
    • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
    • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
    • Check that Active Scripting is set to Enabled
    • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
    • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
Open a new IE window and try to run the online scan.

The computer still seems to be running OK
Hi Paul Hasak

Well done Paul

Your logs have come back fine, what you see in the kaspersky scan is all in system restore, which I'm about to deal with.
Ok, firstly can you delete the smitfraud folders I got you to download dont forget the zip folder too. then empty your recycle bin.

Now I would like you to reset your system restore points by following the instructions set out below

1) On the Desktop, right-click My Computer
2) Click on Properties. Click the System Restore tab.
3) Look for the box near the top which says
Turn off system restore off on all drives

4) Place a tick in the box to disable
5) Click Apply first, and then click OK and the window will dissapear.

Now reboot your computer….

6) Right-click My Computer once more
7) Click on Properties. Click the System Restore tab again
8) Look for the box near the top which says
Turn off system restore off on all drives

9)Take out the tick from the box so it is empty
10) Click Apply first, and then click OK.
Now restart your computer once more to complete the process

_______________________


This is my normal post for when you are clear - which you now are - or seem to be. Please advise of any problems you may have :
Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
  • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click once on the Security tab
  • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click once on the Custom Level button.
  • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
  • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
  • Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
  • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
  • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
  • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
  • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
  • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
    ___________________
  • Update your Anti Virus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Anti virus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For an article on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
    Computer Safety On line - Software Firewalls

  • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  • Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option.
    This will provide real-time spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an anti virus software. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
    Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware
  • Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. You should also scan your computer with the program on a regular basis just as you would an anti virus software in conjunction with Spybot. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
    Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware
  • Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs. A article on anti-malware products with links for this program and others can be found here:
    Computer Safety on line - Anti-Malware
  • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein.


Stand up and be Counted.

NOW is the time you can start to hit back at the people who infected you.
[external image: Posted Image]
Please take the time to go and complain - that forum has a topic for your infection which is ……………. please post as a reply, you do not need to register to do so (but you can if you wish). It will also have a list of other places you can go to to register your complaint, depending on the country you are resident in. Please read the topics and complain, it is only with such complaints to goverment or government agances that something will get done.
