Need help

[jjbgoode]

I've run almost every spyware and antivirus, and I can't get rid of this bug. It has placed a "Security Toolbar" in IE and a flashing icon on my task tray. Here is my HijackTHis log:

Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to reinstall if it's not necessary.

Thanks,

Hello jjbgoode and Welcome to the Forum.

We'll need to turn off your real time protection tools as they may interfere with the fix.

To disable Windows Defender:

• Open Windows Defender
• Click Tools
• Click General Settings
• Scroll down to Real Time Protection Options
• Uncheck Turn on Real Time Protection (recommended)
• Close Windows Defender

======================

You'll need to disable A-squared's a2guard as well. I don't know how to disable that program but usually you can disable any program by locating its icon in the system tray, right-clicking it, and choosing the disable/shutdown option.

Once your log is clean you can re-enable them.

======================

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
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 with all others requested in your next reply.

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

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 your antivirus may alert you about this. Please allow it.

In your next post, please include

• smitfraudfix log
• new hijackthis log

Please make sure the "wordwrap" is turned off when you copy/paste the logs.
