Re: my HijackThis log - 10/3/2008

I was given a set of instructions to follow after posting my above log, and I was unable to do this next step:

Double-click on SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press Enter.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?" answer Yes by typing Y and hit Enter.
The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. If a clean version is found, you will be prompted to replace wininet.dll. Answer Yes to the question "Replace infected file ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.

I found the folder SmitfraudFix on my desktop, but there was no "option #2" :(
Hi snaphu

You are supposed to open SmitfraudFix folder in desktop, double-click SmitfraudFix.exe in that folder and choose option 2 :)
I realized that might be the case, but in the folder there is no SmitfraudFix.exe... there is SmitfraudFix.cmd and it didn't work

the files in the "SmitfraudFix" folder are:
404Fix.exe
AnitXPVSTFix.exe
beep_2K_original.sys
beep_XP_original.sys
dumphive.exe
exit.exe
GenericRenosFix.exe
HostsChk.exe
IEDFix.C.exe
IEDFix.exe
o4Patch.exe
Policies.exe
Process.exe
Reboot.exe
restart.exe
SmitFraudFix.cmd
SmiUpdate.exe
SrchSTS.exe
swreg.exe
swsc.exe
swxcacls.exe
UIFix.exe
unzip.exe
VACFix.exe
VCCLSID.exe
WS2Fix.exe
What it did say?

Or did maybe Norton prevent it?
am I supposed to install the SmitfraudFix.cmd ? I can't remember if Norton prevented it or not? if that is the case, what should I do?
Just double-click it and if Norton warns, allow it.

If it doesn't work, continue with superantispyware, please.
