Hi,
i have adsl and today this virus appeared where at first i had fatal errors in explorer and the blue error msg background, similar to several previos posts regarding this topic. Along with this Smitfraud problem i think i have a few other trojans although i'm not good with viruses so i can't you much there. I ran symantec coporate antivirus and among the viruses detected were trojan.bytesector, backdoor trojan, desktop hijacker, etc, and the anti-virus program was onli able to quarantine and clean some while most others were left alone. The following is my log with all programs closed. Thank you in advance for your help.

Welcome to GTG.

Download smitRem.zip at http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click%20cou.../click.php?id=1 and save the file to your desktop.
Unzip the file to it's own folder on the desktop.

If you have not already installed Ad-Aware SE 1.06, follow the download and setup instructions at http://rstones12.geekstogo.com/adawareSE_setup.htm. Otherwise, check for updates. Don't run it yet!

Download CCleaner at http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp and install it, but do not run it yet.

Restart your computer and boot into Safe Mode by hitting the F8 key repeatedly until a menu shows up (and choose Safe Mode from the list). In some systems, this may be the F5 key, so try that if F8 doesn't work.

Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):

O2 - BHO: CInterfaceObj Object - {58F07DD3-924D-4141-BC74-299F523A95F1} - C:\WINDOWS\PXWMA.DLL
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [wb_0035_turbo.exe] C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\wb_0035_turbo.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AntiSpyWhare.exe] C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\AntiSpyWhare.exe
O9 - Extra button: SideFind - {10E42047-DEB9-4535-A118-B3F6EC39B807} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\SIDEFIND\SIDEFIND.DLL

Open the smitRem folder and double click on the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on the screen. Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

Uninstall SideFind from the Add/Remove panel if listed.

Delete if found:

C:\WINDOWS\PXWMA.DLL
C:\PROGRAM FILES\SIDEFIND\

The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.

Open Ad-aware and do a full scan. Remove all it finds.

Next go to Control Panel->Display->Desktop->Customize Desktop->Web-> Uncheck 'Security Info' if present.

Now run CCleaner.

1. Uncheck 'Cookies' under 'Internet Explorer'.
2. If running Firefox: click on the 'Applications' tab and uncheck 'Cookies' under 'Firefox'.
3. Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.

Reboot back into Windows and go to http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/co...n_principal.htm to do a full system scan. Make sure the autoclean box is checked. Save the scan log and post it along with a new HijackThis log, the contents of the smitfiles.txt log and the Ewido log (if you ran it).

Upload this file (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\XC32\WUAUCLT.EXE) to http://virusscan.jotti.org and report back what it found.

hi, thank you for your help so far, things are looking brighter.

When i ran Adware-SE it removed a lot of rubbish but there were a bunch of files it was unable to remove. I followed the "reboot and scan again" option and when the files was in the process of being detected my Synmantec antivirus automatically popped up too and detected the files as well, and they were identified as Trojan backdoor, keylogger, etc. Their file locations were
C:\_Restore\Temp\A0150051
C:\_Restore\Temp\A0150052
C:\_Restore\Temp\A0150053
C:\_Restore\Temp\A0150054
C:\_Restore\Temp\A0150055

These files were still unable to be quarantined or deleted.

the file you askd me to upload does not exist in that folder but exists in c:\windows (although dis could be a different file - because in my Synmantec Anitivirus, i checkd the quarantine list and the file you specified is in quarantine) which i uploaded and nothing was detected. however in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\XC32 there was a _pass.txt file which i uploaded and here are the results:

File: _pass.txt
Status: MIGHT BE INFECTED/MALWARE (Sandbox emulation took a long time and/or runtime packers were found, this is suspicious. Normally programs aren't packed and don't force the sandbox into lengthy emulation. Do realize no scanner issued any warning, the file can very well be harmless. Caution is advised, however.)

OK, was that XC32 folder created very recently (about the time when problems arose)? If so, delete that folder. You may empty your antivirus quarantine.

Check and fix this in HijackThis:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [xc32] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\XC32\WUAUCLT.EXE

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes. You should not have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.

Download FxIstbar but don't run it yet.

Boot into Safe Mode.

Go to Start->Run and type in regedit and hit OK. Go to File->Export and save the registry somewhere as a backup. While in the Registry Editor, navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\ and delete ZESOFT

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\ and delete MAGNET

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\ACTIVEX COMPATIBILITY\ and delete {53F066F0-A4C0-4F46-83EB-2DFD03F938CF}

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ and delete {B7156514-A76C-4545-9D5B-A4E1D02C7AEC}

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\MAIN\ and delete BANDREST

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\EXTENSIONS\CMDMAPPING\ and delete {10E42047-DEB9-4535-A118-B3F6EC39B807}

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\ and delete {EDD3B3E9-3FFD-4836-A6DE-D4A9C473A971}

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\extensions\CmdMapping\ and delete {10e42047-deb9-4535-a118-b3f6ec39b807}

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\ and delete {eee4a2e5-9f56-432f-a6ed-f6f625b551e0}

If any of the above registry keys are giving you problems deleting, right click on them and click on Permissions. Then click on the Advanced button. Make sure the first box (Inherit from parent...) is checked. Click OK and OK. Then try deleting the entry again. Once you're done, close the Registry Editor.

Download KillBox http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/KillBox.exe. Run KillBox and check the box that says 'End Explorer Shell While Killing File'. Next click on 'Delete on Reboot'. Copy the below files and go back to KillBox. Go to File->Paste from Clipboard and then hit the button with a red circle and white X. Confirm to delete and when asked if you want to reboot, say no:

C:\WINDOWS\smdat32m.sys
C:\Recycled\Dc1.exe
C:\WINDOWS\oeunist.exe

Are there any problems now? If not, you should be set to go.

Thanks so much for your help. only one last thing, my computer seems to be very laggy now (btw, i still have symantec antivirus, and avg both running, and along with all those anti-spyware programs installed in the previous instructions - this might be something to do with the registry), and half the time when i open things lyk my doucments, my computer, internet explorer.. theres an error msg, although this msg once i press "ok" does not affect anything, unlike normally where after u press ok, the explorer window or wateva closes. sometimes i cant even use ctrl-alt-delt., but maybe that may also be due to the laggy problem. also my c: drive's free space seems to be kept being eaten up eaven though i dont install anything. i found heaps of pav(some number).TMP files in the temp folder and i used ccleaner to delete all the rubbish, which recovered around 5gigs.. but once i restartd the space seems to get eaten again and its literally diminishing, becoz every 10mins i press refresh in My Computer and looking at the free space used in the c: drive it progressively decreases. I went into c: drive, highlighted everythin(including hidden folders) and clickd "properties" and found that the space supposedly used e.g. 10gigs, was not true, and that there was onli around 6gigs used. This time there is nothing in the c:/windows/Temp folder, so i dont know where all this space has gone. sorry for the inconvenience.

thanks so much.

Uninstall Norton/Symantec or AVG. Then check and fix these in HijackThis:

Restart and reply back on the status.

Yes the lag problem has being resolved, and i havnt being seeing those error messages lately, however the "free space" available on my c: drive is still an issue. All my other drives are fine. My hardrive is partioned into 2 portions, the other portion which does not have windows installed is fine.

If it can't be resolved, i'll just live with it.

Thanks for all your time and effort, its greatly appreciated

I have heard of this problem before (with the hard drive space not being correct). Forgot what happened at the end (to resolve it?).

This is not normal so we should get this fixed up. I don't think it's a virus or trojan problem, but let's see what the Windows experts say. Go to the Windows XP forum and post this hard drive problem over there.

If you solved it, feel free to PM me what happened. Always good to know one more solution

If you have no further questions related to spyware here, I will close this topic.

Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad we could help.
