Hi. I have read the earlier posts about the smitfield virus. I am also a victim, and I have a red circle with a white cross at my tool tray. Pornographic webpages kept popping up. I am not sure whether I should follow exactly what was prescribed for the earlier victims, so...

Here's my HJT logfile:

The problem still remains. And the start page was not set by me. Even if I tried to change it to a page I want, it reverts back to this weird start page immediately.

I have followed all instructions EXCEPT

1) After running Killbox and rebooting, I tried to start up with Safe Mode, but I got the error message which said HIMEM.SYS is missing and I can't start up in Safe Mode. So I started up with Normal Mode and proceeded with the rest of the instructions.

2) Using Registrar Lite, under "Policies" folder, I could not find the "Systems" folder.

[roamer]

For solving the missing the HIMEM.SYS problem... I realised I have misplaced the Windows 98 startup floppy disk... can a Win95 floppy work?

[roamer]

yep. found the win98 floppy and copied the himem.sys file over. but when i tried to start in safe mode, the same error message appears:

HIMEM.SYS has detected unreliable XMS memory at address 02000278
XMS Driver not installed

After I press Enter, it says HIMEM.SYS is missing.

[Metallica]

I'm afraid that means you have a hardware problem

Himem.sys will do the memory check automatically when booting to Safe Mode in Win9X. The general rule is that if himem.sys finds bad ram then then its truly a problem. Himem.sys is a Microsoft DOS utility and if it says your ram is unreliable than Windows is surely not going to like it either.

Also have a look at:
http://support.micro...oWebContent=1,1

Regards,

Pieter

[roamer]

Thanks Pieter... hmm. hardware problem...

But in the meantime, is there any way I can get rid of the pop-ups due to that Smitfraud?

[Metallica]

Since we can't work from safe mode, we would have to do it from DOS.

Can you make a list of the files/folder you were unable to delete?

I could write you a batch file to run from DOS to delete them.

Regards,

Pieter

[roamer]

Thanks for the prompt reply! The files which I did not delete cos I can't get to Safe Mode are as follow:

C:\Program Files\Search Maid
C:\Program Files\Virtual Maid
C:\Windows\System32\Log Files
C:\Program Files\Security IGuard

[Metallica]

Yuck. So all the folders are still there?

Save the part in bold bewlo to notepad and save the file as nomaid.bat
For your own ease of use save it directly to the C: directory


@ ECHO off
deltree /y C:\Program Files\Search Maid
deltree /y C:\Program Files\Virtual Maid
deltree /y C:\Windows\System32\Log Files
deltree /y C:\Program Files\Security IGuard


Now boot your computer from the bootdisk and execute nomaid.bat

Regards,

Pieter

[roamer]

Yep, executed the batch file and got this message: Bad command or file name, four times. So I guess the files are not present after all... But that ugly red circle with white cross is still there in my tool tray! My homepage is still cannot be set! And the disgusting pop-ups still come at random!

Thanks in advance for bearing with my rants.

I think I made a mistake. Forgot that DOS and batch files don't always accept the same commands and switches. It's been a long time ago I actually used DOS.

Make a new file but this time use:

@ ECHO off
del C:\Program Files\Search Maid\*.*
del C:\Program Files\Virtual Maid\*.*
del C:\Windows\System32\Log Files\*.*
del C:\Program Files\Security IGuard\*.*

Regards,

Pieter

Got this error:

Too many parameters - Files\Search
Too many parameters - Files\Virtual
Too many parameters - Files\*.*
Too many parameters - Files\Security

I thought this could be because of the space, so I tried

deltree /y C:\Program Files\"Search Maid"
deltree /y C:\Program Files\"Virtual Maid"
deltree /y C:\Windows\System32\"Log Files"
deltree /y C:\Program Files\"Security IGuard"

but I got the "Bad command or fie name" error again.
