Hi esezil - welcome to TomCoyote forums. :)

Your HijackThis log is hard to read. Please open Notepad, click on the Format menu and untick Word Wrap.

You have a line in your log that refers to Thammasat University, Thailand. Is this legitimate?

————————————————————-

SmitFraudFix (by S!Ri)
  • Please download SmitFraudFix from here and save it to your Desktop.
  • Double-click on Smitfraud.exe
  • Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press Enter - a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Do not run any of the other options at this stage.

Please copy/paste the content of the report (c:\rapport.txt) 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, as a reply to this thread:
  • The SmitFraudFix report (c:\rapport.txt)
  • A new HijackThis log (make sure that Word Wrap is turned off in Notepad!)
  • The reply to my question about Thammasat University
