I was have trouble on the internet with getting redirected. I ran some Anti-virus programs and found the trojan.dnscharger.hg. After reading a few post I cut off system restore and it seems to be gone. But I know it is probably still hanging around. Here is the Hijackthis log and the two ewido scans. One that I ran before cutting off system restore and the other after it was cut off.

Hello and welcome to Geeks to Go

You might like to save or print these instructions before beginning for easy access.

First, we need to place HijackThis in a folder of its own for it to function properly. Please right click on an empty location on your desktop and choose "New>Folder". Name the new folder "HijackThis". Drag and drop the HijackThis.exe on your desktop into the new folder.

===================================

Next, please turn the system restore on.

===================================

Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and remove, if present:

C:\Program Files\DirectVideo

===================================

We'll need to disable the realtime scanners so that they'll not interfere with the fixes.

To disable Windows Defender:

• Open Windows Defender
• Click Tools
• Click General Settings
• Scroll down to Real Time Protection Options
• Uncheck Turn on Real Time Protection (recommended)
• After you uncheck this, click on the Save button
• Close Windows Defender

To disable SuperAntispyware :

• right-click on the shortcut from the system tray :
• choose : View Control Center (preferences/options)
• on the General and Startup tab: uncheck : Start SUPERAntispyware when Windows starts
• click Close to exit.
  
  To disable AVG AS guard:
  
  Open AVG Anti Spyware.
  Under 'Status',click on "change status" to make it 'inactive'.
  
  ===================================
  
  Please download FixWareout by LonnyRJones from one of these sites and save it to your desktop.
  
  http://downloads.sub.../Fixwareout.exe
  http://www.bleepingc.../Fixwareout.exe
  
  [list]
• Run Fixwareout.
• Click Next,
• then Install,
• make sure Run fixit is checked
• and click Finish.
• The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
• You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
• Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

When you run fixwareout , simply follow the prompts, you will need to restart when prompted.

Once the desktop loads a text file will open (report.txt), you can close it - the file has already been saved.

Run HijackThis. Click "Do a System Scan Only" , and place a check next to the following items (if found):

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{EAC8FEA5-AE0C-44F1-80BE-7C6B0F50F716}: NameServer = 85.255.116.62,85.255.112.233

Click FIX CHECKED. Close HijackThis.

==================================

CAUTION!: It is possible that your Internet Service Provider requires specific settings here. Make sure you know if you need specific DNS settings here or not before you proceed to make the following changes or you may lose your internet connection. If you are sure you do not need a specific DNS address here, you may proceed.

Once back in Windows, close all web browsers.

• Go into Control Panel>Network Connections.
• Right click on your connection
• and click Properties.
• On the Properties page, highlight Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)
• Click Properties. This will bring up another page.

• Restart the computer.
• Start the Internet and IE.

====================================

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
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.

**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.

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 you. Please allow it.

======================================

Open this file c:\fixwareout\report.txtand post the contents of it along with the SmitFraud report, and a new HijackThis log please.

Hi,

If this is not what you are looking for, Im not sure what to post. Where will I find this?

Yes, this is what I was looking for. It just seemed to be the second run and I was wondering if you had the first log, but it's not important.

You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a NotePad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

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, 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, double-click on SmitfraudFix.exe
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 it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.
A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

========================================

Next go to Control Panel click Display>Desktop>Customize Desktop>Web> Now, Uncheck Everything and delete if present:
· "Security Info"
· "Warning Message"
· "Security Desktop"
· "Warning Homepage"
· "Desktop Uninstall"

Also make sure the 'Lock desktop items' box is unticked. Click OK, and then Click Apply, then OK.

----------------------------------------------------

Double-click on SmitfraudFix.exe to start the tool.
Select option #3 - Delete Trusted zone by typing 3 and press Enter
Answer Yes to the question "Restore Trusted Zone ?" by typing Y and hit 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 program and re-protect all items. For IE-SPYAD, run the batch file and reinstall the protection.

===========================================

Please post back C:\rapport.txt and a fresh HijackThis log.

[drtracr16]

When I went to Display>Desktop>Customize Desktop>Web> The only Option I had was Modify Theme.

Hi,

• Choose Run Cleaner.

When CCleaner shows how much has been removed, cleaning is finished. Click Exit.

Sorry it takes me so long to get these things done.

Hi,

The log is clean. Please go ahead and delete the SmitFraud fix and FixWareout from your desktop.

Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present:

MedCh
QL

Make sure that you can see hidden files
· Click Start
· Open My Computer
· Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options
· Select the View Tab
· Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders
· Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option
· Click Yes to confirm
· Click OK
** These files are hidden to stop you accidentally removing something important.
It is advisable to hide them again after fixing your computer. **

=====================================

Using Windows Explorer (right click on Start, click on Explore),locate and delete the following files and folders:

c:\windows\pcconfig.dat

c:\program files\MedCh
c:\program files\QL
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Lycos

=====================================

Since AVG Anti Spyware is a trial version, the realtime guard and automatic update will stop functioning after the trial period. That is why we are not installing the guard so it will not interfere with the cleanup or the malware removal process. You can use AVG-AS as an on-demand scanner (recommended) but you will have to manually update the definition file each time you scan.

Ccleaner is also a useful tool to keep. You can clean your temp files and cookies on a regular basis. Just remember not to use the "issues" block.

=====================================

Remember to hide your system files again.

Start>My Computer>Tools>Folder Options>View
Under the Hidden files and Folders heading uncheck Show hidden files and folders.
check the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm.
check the Hide file extensions for known file types.
Click OK.

Create a new System Restore point to prevent reinfection from old restore points.

Go to Start>Run and type sysdm.cpl. Press Enter

• Select the System Restore Tab
• Place a check in "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
• Click Apply
• next, uncheck the same checkbox.
• Click Apply
• Click OK

You can also find instructions on how to disable and re enable system restore here:
Windows XP System Restore Guide

And that's all. But to help protect you against further infections, and also to help prevent criminals using your computer to infect other people's computers on the web, I recommend the following: (You may already have some of the items)

Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:

From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

Avoid illegal sites, because that's where most malware is present.

* Don't click on links inside popups.
* Don't click on links in spam messages claiming to offer anti-spyware software; because most of these so called removers ARE spyware.
* Download free software only from sites you know and trust. Because a lot of free software can bundle other software, including spyware.

Keep your antivirus-program up-to-date and do regular scans with it. Please make sure that you have only one active antivirus program on your system.
If you haven't got an antivirus, you can download and install one of the following ones wh;ich are free for personal use: Make sure that you have only ONE antivirus running on your computer as more than one would cause conflict and render the computer vulnerable.

AVG Free here
AntiVir here
Avast here

It is essential to keep the anti-virus program fully updated.
IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site <http://windowsupdate...microsoft.com/> to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site <http://office.micros....aspx?lc=en-us> and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.

Keep your pestware-scanners up-to-date and do regular scans with them.

To keep your computer free of Spyware, Adware, Hijackers etc., download and install the following free pestware-scanners (if you haven't installed them already):
AdAware here
Spybot here Remember to "immunize" after each update
Windows Defender here

Install realtime pestware-scanners and keep them up-to-date.

The following free realtime pestscanners prevent a number of malware-variants from entering your computer, in the first place:

SpywareBlaster here Remember to "enable all protection" after each update.
SpywareGuard here

If you haven't got one, already, install a firewall and keep it up-to-date. Please make sure that you have only one active firewall on your system.

A firewall will prevent unauthorized contact between your computer and internet.
If there is no firewall installed on your computer, you can download and install one of the following free firewalls:
ZoneAlarm here
Sygate here
Kerio Personal Firewall here
Outpost here
Important: (Windows XP only) If you install a firewall, be sure to turn off the WinXP-firewall!

Test your firewall here to make sure that it's working properly

Install these programs, to make surfing with Internet Explorer safer:

A popup-blocker, f.e. Google Toolbar here: A popup-blocker prevents popup-windows from opening, when you come along a websites that uses them, during internet-surfing. To provide privacy, select disable advanced features when installing.

IE-SPYAD here: This utility adds a long list of known bad sites to Internet Explorer's Restricted Sites zone. This prevents those sites from executing their malicious programs on your computer.

SiteHound by Firetrust
here:

Firetrust introduces the SiteHound Toolbar - the safe way to browse the Internet. With SiteHound, when you browse the Internet, you're shown a warning page every time you go to a site which is a known scam, potentially loads viruses or spyware on to your computer, has questionable content or anything you would not consider reasonable. You are shown a warning page with information about that site. From there you can choose to enter the site or go back. SiteHound is a free add-on to Internet Explorer.
SiteHound will alert you when you enter a site which is known to contain:
· Fraudulent claims or scams
· Offensive material
· Security vulnerabilities
· Spyware or Adware
· Spam related material
· or other content deemed to be unsafe
Specifically, SiteHound blocks these categories:

o Adult o Spyware o Spam Advertising o Phishing o Possible scam or fraud o Misleading or False Advertising
o Pharming o Rogue or Suspect Product o Adware o Malware or Virus

Install and use an alternative browser to surf on the internet.

Because Internet Explorer is the most-used browser on the planet, most of the hijackers, adware and spyware are made to abuse your computer thru Internet Explorer.
Here are some good alternative browsers:
Mozilla Suite here
Mozilla Firefox here
Opera here
Netscape here
Important: You can not uninstall Internet Explorer.
First of all, it's part of Windows and you'll need it to download and install Windows Updates.
Secondly, There are some sites that are only accessable with Internet Explorer, e.g. most of the Online Malware-scanners.

But above all, keep all your software UP-TO-DATE at all time!!

Also, I would recommend reading the excellent advice by Tony Klein: So how did I get infected in the first place

Happy and safe surfing.

Please take the time to visit Malware Complaints and register your complaint.
The infection you had was SmitFraud
