Hi Mrs. Petereson and 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!
dan

Hi Mrs. Petereson

You seem to have two downloads of HJT can you locate this one and delete:
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 18 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe

This one is fine here:C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\hjt\HijackThis.exe
______________________

You have a couple of bad antiRouge programs see here: SystemDoctor
ErrorSafe

Delete bad programs
  • Click Start
  • Go to Control Panel
  • Go to Add/Remove Programs
  • Find and click Remove for the following (if present). It could be that they have a space or something between it , but it has to look like it:
  • SystemDoctor 2006 Free
  • ErrorSafe
**Take care when answering any questions posed by an uninstaller. Some questions may be worded to deceive you into keeping the program.
______________________

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.
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/proc…processutil.htm

Include the report in your next post
Thanks dan

Hi Dan, on 12/09 I did uninstall System Doctor (I found in in control; panel/add and remove) but did not find ErrorSafe in the control panel…only on my desk top as an icon. I deleted that. I know, though, that doesn't mean I may have gotten rid of it completely.

I have followed your instruction regarding SmitFraudFix and couldn't find the actual icon that read smitfraudfix.cmd but did hover over the icon and realized which one was the command tool. I clicked on that and found it impossible to copy the report so I am including the only information provided:

Process.EXE file is missing!
Unzip all the archive in a folder
then: press any key to continue and then the window dissapears.

I do have to say that on 12/11 (today) I did a complete system restor back to 12/03 (the last time anyone had a chance to mess with the computer and I am no longer receiving the massive pop-ups and and am fairly sure that the continual nagging from SystemDoctor is no longer a problem. Nonetheless, I am enclosing an updated Hijack this log in the event you can spot anything else still lurking.
