Hey

I followed the removal guides to no avail... same old thing keeps popping up, what Spy-Bot SD finds as "Smitfraud" and "smitfraud Toolbar 888" or something similar. Also, they continuously put themselves back on as "ad-ons" in IE, so now im using FireFox.

What I've already done:

- Updated everything
- Run Spybot Search and Destroy several times.
- Run Ad-Aware SE several times
- Run AVG Free 7.5
- Run smitRem and ewido (a.k.a AVG Anti-spyware) in safe mode (a la "How-to remove VirusRescue, SpyAxe, SpywareStrike, SpySheriff, Winhound and Smitfraud using noahdfear's smitRem.exe removal tool" guide)
- Run HijackThis as according to the guide.
- Run Panda scan as according to instructions

Here is the HJT logfile:

For some reason it wasnt letting me save the list of uninstall programs...

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if you require the logs of any other progs I've run (smitRem, Panda, SpyBot SD etc.)
Thanks,

Hello and welcome to Geeks To Go

Some malware has the ability to hide when interrogated by HijackThis; I believe this may be true in your case. Please right click on hijackthis.exe and rename it to crusty.exe

Now please rescan with the newly named file and post the log into this thread by using the ADD REPLY button on the bottom right of this post, and I'll have a fresh look.

From now on, you will have to use crusty.exe to produce a HJT log.

Hi Crustyoldbloke, and thanks a lot for helping me. I did as you recommended and renamed the HJT.exe to crusty.exe and ran it. The report from that scan is as follows:

Hope something pops up! Thanks again

Hello L2K and welcome to Geeks to Go

As an introduction, please note that I am not Superhuman, I do not know everything, but what I do know has taken me years to learn. I am happy to pass on this information to you, but please bear in mind that I am also fallible.

Please note that you should have Administrator rights to perform the fixes. Also note that multiple identity PC’s (family PC’s) present a different problem; please tell me if your PC has more than one individual’s setting, but continue with the fix.

Before we get underway, you may wish to print these instructions for easy reference during the fix, although please be aware that many of the required URLs are hyperlinks in the red names shown on your screen. Part of the fix may require you to be in Safe Mode, which will not allow you to access the internet, or my instructions! (Click the Options drop down near the upper right of the topic. Select Print this topic.)

You have more than one infection, I will attempt to cure the Puper infection first of all. Let’s see what we can do.

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

A. Please open AVG Anti Spyware

• Please install, and update AVG Anti-Spyware
  
• Load AVGas and then click the Update tab at the top. Under Manual Update click Start update.
  
• After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful")
  
• Please select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
  
• Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine".
  
• Under "Reports"
• Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"
• Un-Select "Only if threats were found"
• Close AVGas. Do not run it yet.

B. Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site:

Safe Mode

C. Open the SmitfraudFix Folder, (right click and choose Extract All) then double-click smitfraudfix.cmd file to start the tool. Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press Enter.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?" answer Yes by typing Y and hit Enter.
The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. If a clean version is found, you will be prompted to replace wininet.dll. Answer Yes to the question "Replace infected file ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.

A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process, if you computer does not restart automatically please do it yourself manually. Reboot in Safe Mode.

The tool will create a log named rapport.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.
______________________________

D. Clean out your Temporary Internet files. Proceed like this:

• Quit Internet Explorer and quit any instances of Windows Explorer.
• Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Internet Options.
• On the General tab, click Delete Files under Temporary Internet Files.
• In the Delete Files dialog box, tick the Delete all offline content check box , and then click OK.
• On the General tab, click Delete Cookies under Temporary Internet Files, and then click OK.
• Click on the Programs tab then click the Reset Web Settings button. Click Apply then OK.
• Click OK.

Next Click Start, click Control Panel and then double-click Display. Click on the Desktop tab, then click the Customize Desktop button. Click on the Web tab. Under Web Pages you should see a checked entry called Security info or something similar. If it is there, select that entry and click the Delete button. Click Ok then Apply and Ok.

Empty the Recycle Bin by right-clicking the Recycle Bin icon on your Desktop, and then clicking Empty Recycle Bin.
______________________________

E. Close ALL open Windows / Programmes / Folders.

• In Safe Mode, load AVGas and click on the Scanner tab at the top and then click on Complete System Scan. This scan can take quite a while to run, so be patient.
  
• AVGas will list any infections found on the left hand side. When the scan has finished, it will automatically set the recommended action. Click the Apply all actions button. Ewido will display "All actions have been applied" on the right hand side.
  
• Click on "Save Report", then "Save Report As". This will create a text file. Make sure you know where to find this file again (I suggest the Desktop).

Close AVGas and Reboot in Normal Mode.
______________________________

F. Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #3 - Delete Trusted zone by typing 3 and press Enter

Note, if you use SpywareBlaster and/or IE-SPYAD, it will be necessary to re-install the protection both afford. For SpywareBlaster, run the Programme and re-protect all items. For IE-SPYAD, run the batch file and reinstall the protection.
______________________________

G. Please post:

• c:\rapport.txt
• AVGas/Ewido log
• A new HijackThis log (from normal mode).

You may need more than one reply to post the requested logs, otherwise they might get cut off.

OK Crusty I ran through those steps. The only issue I had was on step C, running smitfraudfix.cmd. It never asked me to clean the registry or prompted me to replace wininet.dll. Just thought I'd let you know.

My PC has only 1 account and it is the administrator, so I used this account to do everything in safe mode. Although, it did ask me to log on as administrator or as my account when I started in safe mode, however I chose my account as it is the administrator anyway.

Here are the three reports in three separate posts to ensure they are not cut off.

1st: c:\rapport.txt

Thanks a lot for helping Crusty, I hope something pops up!

[Crustyoldbloke]

Hello again

The logs look good but there is a lot more to be done. I will attempt to clear the ConHook infections and others in this fix.

Please open Spybot S & D, and turn off Resident Teatimer. Do this by clicking Mode at the top of the screen, choose Advanced Mode then Tools and then Resident and unchecking Teatimer. It will hinder our attempts to clear out some files that need to be removed.

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop

• Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
• Click the Scan for Vundo button.
• Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
• You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
• Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
• When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
• Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log, from normal mode, in a reply to this thread.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove. In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button" when VundoFix appears upon rebooting.
If Vundofix does not find and delete the files, please try running it bit differently:

• Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
• You will receive a message saying Vundofix will close and re-open in a minute or less. Click OK.
• When VundoFix re-opens, click Scan for Vundo button.
• Once the scan is complete, right-click inside the listbox (white box) and click Add more files?
• Copy & paste the 2 entries below into the top 2 boxes:
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\awtqo.dll
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\oqtwa.*
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\qomnkhg.dll
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\ghknmoq.*
• Click Add Files and click Close Window.
• Click the Remove Vundo button.
• You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES.
• Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
• When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.
• Turn your computer back on.
• Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a fresh HiJackThis log, from normal mode.

Please download the following programmes, we will run them later. Please save them to a place that you will remember, I suggest the Desktop:

Killbox by Option^Explicit
CCleaner
combofix.exe

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

If you receive a message such as: "Component 'MsComCtl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." when trying to run Killbox, click here to download and run missingfilesetup.exe. Then try Killbox again.

There is almost certainly bound to be some junk (leftover bits and pieces) on your system that is doing nothing but taking up space. I would recommend that you run CCleaner. Install it, check the default setting in the left-hand pane, ensure you uncheck old prefetch data found under the system tab, and under the heading of Applications uncheck AVGas Anti-malware log then click Analyze> Run Cleaner. You may be fairly surprised by how much it finds. Also click Issues then Scan for issues – fix selected issues

Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

When it has finished, it will produce a log. Please post that log in your next reply.

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Post back a fresh HijackThis log (from normal mode) and I will take another look. (3 logs in total please).

OK I'll just post to what I'm up to at the moment. There was a small error when running VundoFix the first time, so I followed your instructions and did it a second time, entering the files
* C:\WINDOWS\system32\awtqo.dll
* C:\WINDOWS\system32\oqtwa.*
* C:\WINDOWS\system32\qomnkhg.dll
* C:\WINDOWS\system32\ghknmoq.*

as "add files".

So here is the vundofix log and HJT log from the first run:

So far so good (I Hope), I will now continue with the steps you outlined

[l2k]

OK I continued down the path of cleansing but came to another problem with KillBox. No matter how hard I tried it would not let me paste the files
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ktxnfte.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\vpcwpih.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\awtqo.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\qomnkhg.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drvgij.dll,startup

no matter how many times I copied and tried to paste. So I tried to do them 1 by one but each time I got an error saying "PendingFileRenameOperations Registry Data has been Renamed by External Processes". Upon a restart I found that the persistent tray popup is no longer there.... I am sensing things are looking much better!

Hows that looking boss?

[Crustyoldbloke]

Hello again

That looks encouraging. The last HJT log looks clean, but ComboFix is reporting otherwise. Let's see what you think after these deletions.

BTW, the message you got from Killbox is a good message.

Please install Killbox by Option^Explicit.

• Please double-click Killbox.exe to run it.
• Select Delete on Reboot
• then Click on the All Files button.
• Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

• Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
  
• Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click OK at any PendingFileRenameOperations prompt (and please let me know if you receive this message!).

If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

If you receive a message such as: "Component 'MsComCtl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." when trying to run Killbox, click here to download and run missingfilesetup.exe. Then try Killbox again.

How's the PC running now?

[l2k]

Hey Crusty,

I did the above steps and the malware seems to be gone, no more pop-ups or anything like that! Thanks so much for the help! I really can't say how good it is to get rid of that stuff.

Now I've got a bunch of software running all the time.. is it necessary to have them all? What would you recommend as a relatively safe level of constant monitoring/protection that wont absolutely hog the computer down?

Also, I've noticed since this whole issue started that the internet in general has performing a lot slower. Browsing especially has slowed significantly. Could this be because of running programs like ZoneAlarm, AVGas (both of which I didnt have before) and/or AVG anti-virus? I simply can't figure out why the internet would be running slower.

Anyway, thanks so much for your help and please, if you have any thoughts on the matter above, let me know!

Hello Leon

I suppose the question is: "What price security?" anything you add to your system that scans will slow you down.

Please post a fresh HJT log and I'll see what I can lighten your startup load of.

Thanks

Yeah, I guess that is the key question.

Here is a fresh HJT log:
