Hi

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
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.

**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.

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

NOTE: Do not run any other options from SmitfraudFix until I tell you to do so!

Hi

No need to rescan

Save text below as fix.reg on Notepad (save it as all files (*.*)) on the Desktop.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SharedTaskScheduler]
"{e1adb94e-0dc6-487c-b274-981bee6301a1}"=-

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{e1adb94e-0dc6-487c-b274-981bee6301a1}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{e1adb94e-0dc6-487c-b274-981bee6301a1}]

It should look like this -> [external image: Posted Image]

Doubleclick fix.reg, press Yes and ok.

(In case you are unsure how to create a reg file, take a look here with screenshots.)

Reboot and run Smitfraudfix again with option #1. Post contents of c:\rapport.txt and a fresh hjt log and let me know how's system running.

do I do anything with the items in the Quarintine section of AVG anti-spyware……is it safe to delete items from desk top ex: logs…….reg.fix and other things saved and downloader for this fix……also do you have any ideas why windows installer opens and start to run evertime I do A search for item on my hard drive?

You may clear AVG quarantined items and also delete those things I asked to download. However, I'd keep AVG & ATF Cleaner and run them occasionally (once or twice a month). Unfortunately don't know about that windows installer problem. You might want to ask here.

Well congrats, it appears your system is all clean Are you still noticing any problems? If not, it's time to secure your system to prevent against further intrusions.

THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Let's reset system restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected. Please note you need Administrator Access to do clean the restore points.

1. 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, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
NOTE: only do this ONCE,NOT on a regular basis

bad
webpages, but the webpages cannot do certain things (such as use javascripts and cookies).

hosts file:
Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
However, it can slow down certain computers.
This is why using a hosts file is optional!!

Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:

Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen)
Click run
In the dialog box, type services.msc
hit enter, then locate dns client
Highlight it, then double-click it.
On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
Click ok

Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Run the spybot and adaware regularly. (Once or twice a week minimum.)
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.

Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system… problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade
