[David Pang]

Hello,

I could use your help with spyware removal on my computer. Lately it has gotten pretty bad.

I can see a blinking yellow question mark icon in the system tray and it periodically warns me of critical system errors. After clicking on the balloon, an application named Virus Bursters appears to run a scan on the system, but I suspect the application is malware.

I was able to boot into Safe Mode and run Adware and Spybot Search and Destroy, but it appears there is still malware present on this computer.

I ran a HJT log and here it is below. Please give me a hand with removing the baddies on my computer.

Thanks,

David

Hi, David Pang.

Welcome to Geeks to go.

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 content of that report into your next reply.

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.

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

[David Pang]

Hi JSntgRvr ,

The following are two lists of the Rapport file from "SmitfraudFix" after choosing "option 1 - Search" before AND after running "option 2 - Clean" in safe mode. The blinking yellow question mark icon in the system tray has disappeared. I apologize if I jumped ahead too fast by choosing option 2. Please advise.

-David

Hi, David Pang

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application.

Ugrading Java:

• Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 9.
  
• Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
  
• Click the "Download" button to the right.
  
• Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
  
• The page will refresh.
  
• Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  
• Go to Start > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java version.
  
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  
• Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.

Please post a fresh Hijackthis log and let me know how is the computer doing.

Hi, David Pang.

Congratulations.

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove bad files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programmes changing them. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected.)

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(Windows XP)

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK..

The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.

• Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.
  
  
• AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.
  
  
• SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.
  
  
• SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.
  
  
• IE-SpyAd - puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
  
  
• CleanUP! - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.
  
  
• Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
  
  
• Google Toolbar - Free google toolbar that allows you to use the powerful Google search engine from the bar, but also blocks pop up windows.
  
  
• Trillian or 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)

To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein.

Best wishes!
