Hi scheffilm and welcome to TomCoyote. I need to take some time to look over your Hijack This log to come up with a fix. Please remember that I am an undergraduate which means I need to have my posts to you checked by a teacher or moderator to make sure I'm giving you the proper instructions. This process won't take long and I thank you for your patience. I'll be back with you soon.

Hi scheffilm. Please follow the instructions below:

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.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd

[external image: Posted Image]

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 in your next reply.

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

Nice job. A few more things. Please run Hijack This again and have it do a system scan only. Put a check (tick) next to the following entries:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/…rch/search.html

R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)\

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdate] C:\Program Files\winupdate\winupdate.exe /auto

O20 - Winlogon Notify: wineak32 - wineak32.dll (file missing)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: yayvtsr - yayvtsr.dll (file missing)

Close all other browsers/windows and click Fix Checked. Close Hijack This.

Make sure that you can see hidden files and folders:
  • Click "Start".
  • Click "My Computer".
  • Select the "Tools" menu and click "Folder Options".
  • Select the "View" tab.
  • Under the "Hidden files and folders" heading, select "Show hidden files and folders".
  • Uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" option.
  • Click "Yes" to confirm.
  • Uncheck the "Hide file extensions for known file types".
  • Click "OK".
Reboot the PC into safe mode. Instructions below:
  • 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.
Use Windows Explorer to find and delete the following (do not worry if it doesn't exist):

C:\Program Files\winupdate<—This folder

Reboot into normal mode and post a fresh Hijack This log.

Hi skywalker 45, I fixed those entries through HijackThis and checked my folder options etc and rebooted in safe mode to find winupdate folder, folder was not there. Since I ran AVG etc from previous posts the dialer has not been annoying me at all. Thanks again for your help!

Here's the fresh HijackThis log:

Hi scheffilm. Log looks great. You should update your version of Java. Instructions below:

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update.

Updating Java:
  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 .
  • Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
  • The page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.
After that post one more fresh Hijack This log and I think we'll be done.
:)

Congratulations. Your log is clean! You should reward yourself very liberally! Now some pointers on how to stay clean and keep your sanity. You may be thinking now "how did I get infected?" Please read this great article: So how did I get infected in the first place.

Next follow the instructions below to keep yourself free from infection.

Disable and then enable system restore to purge infected restore points.

Turn OFF System Restore.
  • On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
  • Click Properties.
  • Click the System Restore tab.
  • Check Turn off System Restore.
  • Click Apply.
  • Click OK.
To enable system restore:
  • Uncheck the box by Turn off system restore
  • Click Apply.
  • System restore is now on.
  • Create a restore point by clicking Start—>All programs—>Accessories—>System tools—>System restore
  • Select the bubble that says Create restore point. Then click Next.
  • Give the restore point a meaningful name like post malware removal. Then click OK.
Rehide hidden files and folders. During your fix if you were asked to "show hidden files and folders" you should go back now and re-hide them. You wouldn't want to accidentally delete important files. Follow the instructions below:
  • Click "Start".
  • Click "My Computer".
  • Select the "Tools" menu and click "Folder Options".
  • Select the "View" tab.
  • Under the "Hidden files and folders" heading, select "Do not show hidden files and folders".
  • Check the "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" option.
  • Check the "Hide file extensions for known file types".
  • Click Apply then click "OK".

Update with SP2 if you don't aleady have it.
Visit Windows Update and follow the onscreen instructions to download and install SP2.
This is a time consuming process, even with a fast connection. If you use a dial-up connection you should consider getting a FREE copy
directly from Microsoft or get a friend with a fast connection to burn a copy of the upgrade to CD for you.

Update the OS regularly

Set up system to ensure a regular update of the Operating System.

Manually:

Visit Windows Update on a weekly/biweekly REGULAR basis.

Automatically:
  • On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
  • Click Properties.
  • Click on Automatic Updates.
  • Check the option of choice (I use Automatic (Recommended)). If you use dial-up I would recommend using the
    Notify Me option so that you can download when you can afford the time and bandwidth overheads.
  • Select the Day/Time of choice
  • Click Apply
  • Click OK

Secure your web browser
  • Open Internet Explorer and click on the Tools menu and then click on
    Security
  • Click the Internet icon
  • Click onCustom Level.
  • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
  • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
  • Change the Initialize 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
  • Change the Allow paste operations via script to Disable
  • Click on OK
  • Save (if asked).
  • Click on Applybutton
  • Click on OK
Alternatively you could use another browser such as
Mozilla Firefox (My personal favorite!)
Opera

Get Some Protection
The following programs are useful in the fight against Malware. Best of all, they're FREE.
Download and install any or all . Be warned though —- You must update regularly. Check once a week!
  • Ad-Aware SE - This is a
    program that scans for and removes known spyware from your machine.
  • Spybot Search &
    Destroy     -Similar to Ad-Aware but more configurable and incorporates Teatime, a memory resident utility that protects the system registry.
  • Spyware Blaster -
    It Prevents the addition of ActiveX Controls on your machines by
    isolating the system registry (Highly Recommended).
A good Antiviral program is essential. The ones listed below are free. Please download and use ONE of these if you're not already running an Antivirus program:
And Finally………Lock the door with a Firewall. Windows XP comes with its own simple firewall but I prefer to substitute it with one of the below, again these are free: I wish you very happy, and most importantly, safe surfing on the information superhighway. Just remember it can be dangerous.
