C:\Windows\System32\SmitfraudFix\IEDFix.exe Infected: Hoax.Win32.Renos.vatg 1
C:\Windows\System32\SmitfraudFix\Reboot.exe Infected: not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.Reboot.f 1
The selected area was scanned.

I had a problem in March and the Reboot.exe came up (not the Renos.vatg). I posted on Malware forum. The rep said this: Let me first tell you what SmitfraudFix is - it is a tool for removing Smitfraud infections. It is incorrectly flagged as malware by most scanners. In short, those Kaspersky entries are of no concern. The IEDfix.exe was not on the scan I had done in March.

I had removed SMITFRAUD FIX from my desktop. I have a SMITFRAUD folder in my windows system32 folder. Can I delete the entire folder? When I tried to delete the IEDfix.exe file - I got access denied message. It says you need to confirm this operation and a bunch of info about the file. Cannot copy and paste the message here.

Can I delete the Smitfraud folder? Do I need it? How do I delete when I get access denied?
Why is access denied? What are these threats? thank you!

I was able to remove the Smitfraud fix folder. I ran Kapersky scan again and it found 0 infections. Would appreciate a view of my HIJACK THIS log, but I think my machine is clean.

Hi dtheall,

What the 'rep' told you about SmitfraudFix is correct, and removing the whole folder should be fine. Have you had any problems since you posted the log?

Download RSIT by random/random to your Desktop (right-click the link, select Save Target As..., select your Desktop and press Save)

  • Double click RSIT.exe to start the program, and click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
  • When the scan is complete, two text files will open - log.txt <- this one will be maximized and info.txt <-this one will be minimized
  • Make sure Format->Word Wrap is unchecked
  • Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of log.txt and info.txt in your reply

Once complete, please post both RSIT logs, you won't need to produce a new HijackThis log as RSIT produces one for you.
