Infected with a seemingly unbeatable virus

6 min read

This thread's last reply is from September 25, 2017, 5:41 AM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

A few days ago, I downloaded a program that I shouldn't have in an effort to test something before I shelled out $50 for it. Shame on me, I know.

At first, I was hit with a big blue screen that demanded my Windows Activation key. I was able to remove that easily, and uninstalled some rogue programs that were installed. I thought that was the last of it. I opened up Chrome browser and did a simple Google search, only to be redirected to Yahoo. I immediately checked my extensions, and found no rogue extensions to disable. I then attempted to do a virus scan, and found I could not open up my virus scanner, at all. I had MalwareBytes as well as Panda Pro. Neither would open up. I opened up Task Manager and found a process that seemed suspicious: dwonhxbsrv.exe. I tried to End Task, but I couldn't do that, either. The location for the file was C:\Windows\temp. I also stumbled across the Unmelted virus. So my next step was to reboot into Safe mode and delete it. But it didn't seem to exist. I attempted to run antivirus in Safe mode, and it still wouldn't open.

My next step then was to create a bootable USB drive and try to do some repairs there. I tried HBCD, AiO, Medicat, and even tried to use a USB version of Windows 8. Could not boot into Windows 8, and Medicat failed. Got into HBCD, but when I tried to run the antivirus, it failed to execute. Same with AiO (Paul Vreeland, I think?). Then I found out about Norton Power Eraser, which I used. Now I have an "msln is missing" error on boot, and the virus is still active. I also used ESET online virus scanner, and I was hopeful, for it found and cleaned a lot of files. Just not the right one, apparently.

For additional "features" of this virus, after a while, it creates a "Windows Process Manager" task and two sub-tasks called "client". When those are active, I cannot delete them, nor can I scroll down to see the aforementioned suspicious .exe running. It jumps right back to the top if I do. I've caught glimpses of a URL when Google redirects, and it says "extension.whitesmoke.com", though any other details, I don't have. I also cannot do Cmd+R to open up Run (I have to use Task Manager for that), and in an effort to export all running tasks to see if I've missed anything else, I get an "Access is denied." error (using "tasklist /v > taskslist.txt").

I really do not want to reformat and reinstall everything, so this is pretty much my last resort. Is there anything else I can try to get rid of this seemingly unbeatable virus? Thank you, graciously, in advance.
Are you able to run programs on your computer, if you are please do the following ....

  • If you're using a 32 bit OS ...Download FRST to your Desktop.
  • If you're using a 64 bit OS ...Download FRST64 to your Desktop.
  • Double click Frst.exe to launch it.
  • FRST will start to run.
    • When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
    • Press the Scan button.
    • When finished scanning 2 logs will open on your Desktop, FRST.txt and Addition.txt
    • Please post them in your next reply.


Post each log separately as they are usually long and will overrun the forum post size limit if you post them both into the same post.

If you're not able to run FRST please let me know.
My apologies, I had read to do the FRST, and I forgot to upload the attachments. I noticed there wasn't an edit button to edit the post and correctly add them. I am attaching them now, for they are too large to post.

If it matters any, it's on a Windows 10 Pro laptop.\

Thank you for your quick response.
It's going to take me a while to go through your FRST logs, so it may be tomorrow (my time gmt) before I get back to you.

In the meantime can you see if you can follow the instructions on THIS page, to run a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit Beta, which should then allow you to run a scan with your installed version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

If you are able to run a scan with MBAM, then please fix anything it finds, and post me the log.

  • With Malwarebytes open, click on Reports and select the most recent Scan report.
  • Click View Report to open the Report.
  • Click Export > Copy to clipboard to copy the report's contents
    • Please post those contents in your next reply.


If you are still unable to run MBAM after running MBAR, please let me know.
Take your time as needed. I appreciate the assistance.

I attempted to run MBAR, but came across this message:

"Error: The system volume seems inaccessible or encrypted. Scan can't continue."

That would explain a few things, it seems, as to why I couldn't scan in Safe mode or even off a USB bootable OS.
I need some extra information from you please ....

  • Start FRST in a similar manner to when you ran a scan earlier, but this time when it opens ....
  • Press Ctrl+y (Ctrl and y keys at the same time)
  • A blank notepad file named fixlist.txt will open.
  • Copy and paste the following into it (don't include Code: Select all) ....

Cmd: dir C:\Windows\system32\drivers

  • Press Ctrl+s to save fixlist.txt

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user. Running it on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
  • Now press the Fix button once and wait.
  • FRST will process fixlist.txt
  • When finished, it will produce a log fixlog.txt in the same folder/directory as FRST64.exe
  • Please post me the log


Question ....

Do you know these User accounts ????

C:\Users\Qfd4eey
C:\Users\Aksnb26p


By the way, do you use this computer to connect to a business or educational network, because your FRST logs would suggest that you do.
Here is the fixlog.txt file:

Regarding your question: I noticed those two folders after I had run FRST the first time, and no, I do not know those two. I browsed them and they have some files in them, but I haven't done anything to delete them. They are also marked with a "hidden" attribute as well.
I also asked .....

do you use this computer to connect to a business or educational network, because your FRST logs would suggest that you do.


..... can you answer that question as well please.
I've now finished going through your FRST logs, and it is clear that you have an infection that we're calling "SmartService".

However, I also discovered that you have some cracked/illegal software installed .....

Cracked - Illegal Software

  • FRST.txt.
  • Addition.txt.
  • Details of the problems you're experiencing.
