Hi SweetZombijesus,

Welcome to Tech Support Forum!

I apologize for the delay getting to your log. The helpers here are all volunteers and we have been very busy here lately. If you are still having malware problems, I will be glad to help.

First of all, while it is acceptable to have two anti-virus programs installed, it is not a good idea to have them both running in auto-protect mode as it may make both less effective. Choose just one to run in auto-protect and use the other for ad-hoc scans only.


NEXT:

BEFORE BEGINNING, Please read completely through the instructions below. Please also print these instructions or copy them to Notepad (or another word processor), and save it for easier reference. This is because we will be in Safe Mode during the fix and you won’t be able to access the Internet to view these instructions.

Please download SDFix by AndyManchesta and save it to your desktop.

Right-click the SDFix.zip folder and choose Extract All to extract it to its own folder on the desktop.

Please then reboot your computer into Safe Mode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer.
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but just before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear.
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in "Safe Mode", then press "Enter".
  • Choose your usual account.


Once in Safe Mode, please do the following:
  • Open the extracted folder and double-click RunThis.bat to start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
  • It will remove any Trojan Services or Registry Entries found, then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process, then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
  • Once the desktop icons load, the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt.
  • Finally, copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt back onto the forum along with a new HijackThis log.

BEFORE BEGINNING, Please read completely through the instructions below. Please also print these instructions or copy them to Notepad (or another word processor), and save it for easier reference. This is because we will be in Safe Mode during the fix and you won’t be able to access the Internet to view these instructions.


1. Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri):
  • Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your desktop.
  • Please do NOT run a scan yet!

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.

2. Please download CCleaner and save it to your desktop:
  • Run the CCleaner installer.
  • During installation process, please UNCHECK "Add CCleaner Yahoo! Toolbar".
  • Please do NOT run a scan yet!


3. Please download and install SUPERAntiSpyware
  • Load SUPERAntiSpyware and click the Check for Updates button.
  • Once the update has finished, exit SUPERAntiSpyware. Please do NOT run a scan yet!


4. Please reboot your computer into Safe Mode by doing the following:
  • Reboot your computer.
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but just before the Windows icon appears, begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard. Continue to do so until the Windows Advanced Options menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.
  • Using the arrow keys on the keyboard, scroll to and select the "Safe Mode" menu item, and then press "Enter".


5. Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd:
  • 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 a reboot is required, please boot BACK into Safe Mode). A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

WARNING : Running Option #2 on a non-infected computer will remove your desktop background.



6. AFTER SmitfraudFix finishes (and after a reboot if required), please run CCleaner. (If a reboot is required, please boot BACK into Safe Mode)
  • Click the Windows tab.
  • Select the following:
    • Check everything under the Internet Explorer section.
    • Check everything under the Windows Explorer section.
    • Check everything under the System section.
    • Check ONLY Old Prefetch data under the Advanced section.
  • Then, click the Applications tab:
    • UNCHECK everything there.
  • Next, click the Options button, then click the Advanced button:
    • UNCHECK : "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours".
  • Next, click the Cleaner button, then click the Run Cleaner button (bottom right), then Exit.

CAUTION : Please do NOT use the Issues button. This is a built-in registry cleaner. If you don’t know how to use it, you may cause irreparable damage to your system.



7. Then please run a scan with SUPERAntiSpyware:

IMPORTANT : Do NOT open any other windows or programs while SUPERAntiSpyware is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning process.
  • Open SUPERAntiSpyware and click the Scan your Computer button.
  • Check Perform Complete Scan and then click Next.
  • SUPERAntiSpyware will now scan your computer and when it’s finished it will list all the infections it has found.
  • Make sure that they all have a check next to them, and then click Next.
  • Click Finish and you will be taken back to the main interface.
  • It could be possible that it will ask you to reboot your computer in order to delete some files after reboot.
  • I'll need a log afterwards of what has been found.
  • To get the log, click Preferences and then click the Statistics/Logs tab. Click the dated log and press View Log and a text file will appear.
  • Please post the results of the SUPERAntiSpyware log in your next reply.


Please REBOOT normally into Windows. Then post the contents of the SmitfraudFix log located at C:\rapport.txt into this thread, along with the SUPERAntiSpyware report and a new HijackThis log.


NEXT:

Please REBOOT your computer normally into Windows and post these logs in your next reply:
  1. The log from the SDFix scan.
  2. The log from the SmitfraudFix scan.
  3. The log from the SUPERAntiSpyware scan.
  4. A new HijackThis log.

Also, please let me know how things are running now and if you encountered any problems while you were following the directions I posted.
