This thread's last reply is from March 20, 2008, 1:55 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

Here's a log from a laptop running windows XP.
Symptoms include:

explorer.exe cpu going to 100%
Windows attack message popping up and then explorer.exe cpu going to 100%
This laptop is running Norton system works but the liveupdate will not work
There was an entry that set the DNS to somebody else's DNS. I don't have the DNS servers but they started with 88.*.*.*
Some of the registry entries i've added a 2 to the executable name to disable them in order to track down the offending registry entry.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I resolved the issue by running smitfraud and that's what it was. Thanks for your assistance anyway.
