Hi im new and i've been trying to find the solution by looking at other fourm posts but cant. A small circle icon with a question mark in the middle keeps switching to a circle with a slash though it and also keeps telling me there are viruses on my com. and to buy a special anti-virus program to get rid of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello newkid.

That sounds like Smitfraud to me.. don't buy any of those programs! I want to look at a log to verify.
Click here to download HJTsetup.exe

• Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
• Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
• By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
• Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
• Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
• Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
• At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
• Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
• Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
• Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
• DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Your log looks clean.

But just to be sure, can you do this online scan?

Run an online scan at Panda's ActiveScan

• Please go here using Internet Explorer.
• Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button.
• A new window will open, click the big Check Now button.
  • Enter your Country.
  • Enter your State/Province.
  • Enter your e-mail address and click send.
  • Select either Home User or Company.
  • Click the big Scan Now button.
• If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it.
• It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan.
• When the download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan.
• When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.
• Post that report along with a new Hijackthis log.

Ok let's do this..

Locate and delete the following file(s), if present : C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\vb119.exe
=====================================

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)

• Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.
• Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
• 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 contents of C:\rapport.txt into your next reply along with a new Hijackthis log.
• Do not run the other options of this tool yet until you are asked to do so!

[newkid]

Hey jag sorr it took so long for me to get back to you. I didnt find the temp file you listed. I also downloaded smitfraudfix but when i try to run it it comes up with a red screen and says the .exe is missing (already unzipped everything twice).

[Jag11]

Can you post the exact error message please?

[newkid]

SmitFraudFix v2.88
Fichier Process.exe absent!
De zippez la totalite de l'archive dans un dossier

Process.exe file missing!
Unzip all the archive in a folder

Press any key to continue...

Yeah sorry bout not putting it.

[Jag11]

Oh ok..

Let's try this:

Open the SmitfraudFix folder.
Find the file named "Process.exe" and then right click on it, select "Copy".

Then open this folder: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\"
Inside the window, click File at the top, and then "Paste".

Then run SmitfraudFix again and see if it worked.

[newkid]

Hello again,

Everything looks fine now!

Just wondering if you have ran SmitfraudFix with "Option 2" and if you did that while in Safe Mode?

Can I see a new "Option 1" log?

[newkid]
