Hello and welcome to Malware Removal.

My name is km2357 and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

I will be giving you a series of instructions that need to be followed in the order in which I give them to you.

If for any reason you do not understand an instruction or are just unsure then please do not guess, simply post back with your questions/concerns and we will go through it again.

Please do not start another thread or topic, I will assist you at this thread until we solve your problems.

Lastly the fix may take several attempts and my replies may take some time but I will stick with it if you do the same.


I will be back as soon as possible with your first instructions!

[km2357]

Step # 1 Download and run SmitFraudFix

Using one of the links below download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.


here
or
here


Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe.
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.

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 they may alert the user.


Step # 2: Make an uninstall list using HijackThis
To access the Uninstall Manager you would do the following:

1. Start HijackThis
2. Click on the Config button
3. Click on the Misc Tools button
4. Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.
5. Click on the Save list... button and specify where you would like to save this file. When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file. Simply copy and paste the contents of that notepad here on your next reply.


In your next post/reply, I need to see the following:

1. SmitFraudFix Log
2. Uninstall List
3. A fresh HiJackThis Log

Use multiple posts if you can't fit everything into one post.

Thanks so much for helping me fix this computer!

Print out these instructions or save them into a notepad on your desktop, because you will not have internet access while in Safe Mode.


Step # 1: Remove Poker programs
From your log I can see you've installed poker programs. A lot of poker programs are infected/can infect you with malware.

I would advise you to go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the following poker program(s):

Poker Superstars

Here are links to some poker sites regarded as safe for your reference.
1. http://www.pokerstars.net/ - This is a free to use/play site with play money.
2. http://www.pokerstars.com/ - This is a free to use/play site with play money and real money.



Step # 2: Boot into Safe Mode

You can go in Safe Mode by restarting your computer, then continually tapping F8 until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode, then hit enter.


Step # 3 Run SmitFraudFix

Once in Safe Mode, double-click on SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.
A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.


In your next post/reply, I need to see the following:

1. SmitFraudFix Log (rapport.txt)
2. A fresh HiJackThis Log taken in Normal Mode and after Step 3 has been completed.

[BaysFamily]

Hi,

I have done as you asked again. I did notice that when I was running SmitfraudFix.exe, I didn't see where it was checking wininet.dll Maybe I didn't let it finish all the way?! I guess you'll be able to see it in the logs if I didn't

Here is the Smitfraudifx log

Step # 1: Disable Teatimer

Spybot S&D's tea timer normally provides real-time protection from spyware, however it may interfere with what we need to do. We will disable it until the machine is clean when it can be re-enabled.

This is a two step process.
First step:

• Right-click the Spybot Icon in the System Tray (looks like a blue/white calendar with a padlock symbol)
• If you have the new version 1.5, Click once on Resident Protection, then Right click the Spybot icon again and make sure Resident Protection is now Unchecked. The Spybot icon in the System tray should now be now colorless.
• If you have Version 1.4, Click on Exit Spybot S&D Resident

Second step, For Either Version :

• Open Spybot S&D
• Click Mode, choose Advanced Mode
• Go To the bottom of the Vertical Panel on the Left, Click Tools
• then, also in left panel, click Resident shows a red/white shield.
• If your firewall raises a question, say OK
• In the Resident protection status frame, Uncheck the box labeled Resident "Tea-Timer"(Protection of over-all system settings) active
• OK any prompts.
• Use File, Exit to terminate Spybot
• Reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.

Thanks again! I couldn't do this without you!

Step # 1 Update Adobe Acrobat Reader

There is a newer version of Adobe Acrobat Reader available. (See Note below)

• First, go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all previous versions.
• Please go to this link Adobe Acrobat Reader Download Link
• On the right Untick Adobe Phototshop Album Starter Edition if you do not wish to include this in the installation.
• Click the Continue button
• Click Run, and click Run again
• Next click the Install Now button and follow the on screen prompts

Note: Adobe 8 is a large program and if you prefer a smaller program you can get Foxit 2.0 instead from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php


Step # 2: Run Kaspersky Online Scan
Please do an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner

You must be using Internet Explorer, Kaspersky does not work with Firefox

Click Accept

You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky,
Click Yes.

• The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
• Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
• Now click on Scan Settings
• In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
  
  
  
  • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  
  
  
  Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
  
  
  
  
  
  • Scan Options:
  
  
  
  Scan Archives Scan Mail Bases
  
• Click OK
• Now under select a target to scan:
  
  
  Select My Computer
  
• The program will start and scan your system.
• The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
• Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  
  
  
  • Now click on the Save as Text button:
• Once finished, save the log to your Desktop as filename KAV.txt

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the licence, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.


In your next post/reply, I need to see the following:

1. Kaspersky Log
2. A fresh HiJackThis Log
3. How is your computer doing, any problems?

Use multiple posts if you can't fit everything into one post.

The computer is doing better. I did just notice that when I use Mozilla and go to the Comcast.net it just comes up with text, no graphics or anything else, just words down the left side. Any thoughts??

The computer is doing better. I did just notice that when I use Mozilla and go to the Comcast.net it just comes up with text, no graphics or anything else, just words down the left side. Any thoughts??

Does it only happen at Comcast.net? Did it happen before I started helping you? And does it only happen with Mozilla and not Internet Explorer? Do you have any extensions/add-ons installed for Mozilla Firefox? Its possible one of those maybe causing the problem. Try starting Firefox in safe mode, by clicking Start->All Programs->Mozilla FireFox->Mozilla FireFox (safe mode). If Comcast.net shows up fine in safe mode, it means one of your extensions/add-ons is causing a problem and you'll need to disable them one by one (in normal Firefox) to see which one(s) may be causing the problem.

Also have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox to see if that fixes it?

Using Windows Explorer, delete the following files and folders, if found:

File:

C:\Documents and Settings\Christina.DEAN\Desktop\ZwinkySetup2.2.60.11.ZJfox000.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop\SmitfraudFix.zip
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\My Downloads\SmitfraudFix(2).exe
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\My Downloads\SmitfraudFix.exe


Folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\My Downloads\SmitfraudFix
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\SmitfraudFix


Empty your Recycle Bin.


Let me know how everything went.

Hi,

Seems the Mozilla is working great now! Maybe it was just a hickup or something weird with their website. Do you think I should uninstall and reinstall it or just leave it alone? Would I have to add back in some plug-ins?

I found 1 more Smitfraudfix folder under c:\documents and settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop. Should I keep that one there or delete that too?

Other than that, everything seems to be running smooth!

Since its working fine now, I would leave Mozilla alone. If you do uninstall and reinstall it, I believe you would have to redownload and readd any plug-ins you had before.

I found 1 more Smitfraudfix folder under c:\documents and settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop. Should I keep that one there or delete that too?

Yes, go ahead and delete that folder.

Since everything else looks good, then you are good to go.



Please take the time to read my All Clean Post.

Please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point

• Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
• Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
• Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
• Select the More options tab
• Choose the option to clean up system restore and OK it.
• This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

.

Clearing your restore points is not something you should do on a regular basis. Normally, this process only needs to be done after clearing out an infestation of malware.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure This can be done by following these simple instructions:

1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
2. Click once on the Security tab
3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
   
   • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
   • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
   • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
   • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
   • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
   • Change the Navigate sub frames across different domains to Prompt
5. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
6. If it asks you if you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
7. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

Set correct settings for files that should be hidden in Windows XP

• Click Start > My Computer > Tools menu (at top of page) > Folder Options > View tab.
• Under "Hidden files and folders" if necessary select Do not show hidden files and folders.
• If unchecked please checkHide protected operating system files (Recommended)
• If necessary check "Display content of system folders"
• If necessary Uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types.
• Click OK

• Use An Antivirus Software and Keep It Updated - It is very important that your computer has an antivirus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. It is imperative that you update your antivirus software at least once a day. If you do not update your antivirus software, then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently It is important that you visit Microsoft Windows Update regularly. This will ensure your computer has the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
• Install SpywareBlaster SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs. An article on anti-malware products with links for this program and others can be found here:
  Computer Safety on line Anti Malware
• Use the hosts file: Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them. In a very basic sense, they are used to locate web pages. We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain web pages. However, it can slow down certain computers. This is why using a hosts file is optional. Download mvps hosts file Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial HERE If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
  
  1. Click the start button on the task bar at the bottom of your screen
  2. Click run
  3. In the dialog box, type services.msc
  4. hit enter, then locate dns client
  5. Highlight it, then doubleclick it.
  6. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
  7. Click ok..
• Use an alternative instant messenger program.Trillian and Miranda IM These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)
• Please read Tony Klein's excellent article: How I got Infected in the First Place
• Please read Understanding Spyware, Browser Hijackers, and Dialers
• Please read Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe and secure on the Internet
• If you are using Internet Explorer, please consider using an alternate browser: Mozilla's Firefox or
  Opera.
  If you decide to use either FireFox or Opera, it is very important that you keep them up to date and check frequently for updates of the browser of your choice.
• Update all these programs regularly Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
• If your computer was infected by a website, a program, IM, MSN, or p2p, check this site because it is Time To Fight Back.

Follow these steps and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Here's a good website to read about Malware prevention:

http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miek ... ntion.html

Good luck!


Please reply one last time so that I know you have read my post and this thread can be closed.

[BaysFamily]

Thank you again for all your help! I'll do the last steps you have suggested and read through the article. I'm glad there are people like you out there helping those of us who know a LOT less than you about computers!
