Very strange since your logs are all clean

Some scanner must have changed a registry setting

You can delete those .run files by the way


Follow the steps in my previous post, then do this


Download OTScanIt.exe to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named OTScanIt on your desktop.

• Open the OTScanIt folder and double-click on OTScanIt.exe to start the program.
• Under Additional Scans check the boxes beside Reg - App Paths, Reg - Bot Check, Reg - Desktop Components, Reg - Disabled MS Config Items, Reg - File Additional Folder Scans, File - Lop Check, and File - Purity Scan.
• Under Drivers change it to Non-Microsoft.
• Check the box beside Scan All User Accounts at the top
• Under Files Created Within and Files Modified Within change it to 90 days.
• Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
• When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
• Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.

Use the Add Reply button and post the information back here in an attachment. I will review it when it comes in. The last line is < End of Report >, so make sure that is the last line in the attached report.


Make sure you attach the report in your reply. If it is too big to upload, then zip the text file and upload it that way

Think I found it

Start OTScanIt. Copy/Paste the information in the quotebox below into the panel where it says "Paste fix here" and then click the Run Fix button.

The fix should only take a very short time. When the fix is completed a message box will popup telling you that it is finished. Click the Ok button and Notepad will open with a log of actions taken during the fix. Post that information back here

I will review the information when it comes back in.



Also post a new HijackThis log and tell me how your desktop is now

[Cheap-o]

Okay, when I ran the fix, it didn't give me any logs or anything, just asked me to restart the computer to complete it, and there were no logs created in it's folder once it was done restarting. Nothing has changed. It still looks the same as the screenshot I gave you, but here is the hijackthis log. Do I need to disable avast! for the fix to work properly or anything?

Very strange

Have a look in the OTScanIt folder for the log


Can you try go into Safe Mode and run the fix one more time


Then try this


Please download RUNSCANNER to your desktop and run it.

• When the first page comes up select Beginner Mode
• On the next page select Save a binary .Run file (Recommended) then click Start full scan at the top.
• At this time Runscanner.exe may request access to the Internet through your firewall please allow it to do so, it will then run for two or three minutes.
• On completion it will ask for a location to save the file and a name. It will do this for both the .run file and the log
• Call the file "Select a file name here" and save it to your desktop. You will see the .run file on your desktop. Please zip the .run file by right clicking and selecting send to Zip file

Then upload that as an attachment in your next post.

[Cheap-o]

Alright, I did find the logs from the OTScanit fix. The reason I didn't see them before was because they were in the "MovedFiles" folder, and since the graphic for the folder icon isn't currently working in normal mode, I didn't realize it was a folder -.-

Anyway, I tried the fix in safe mode, and that didn't fix things. However, I did notice two things when I started in safe mode. One: My background was normal. Two: none of the graphics for my icons were missing. I will post the logs for both the fix in normal mode, and in safe mode, and attach the runscanner file to this post.

Hello

Download the zipped attachment at the end of this post(this will be your runscanner as fixed by me)

• Unzip it to your desktop then double click the runscanner icon this will run the program.
• Click on the "Item Fixer" tab
• You will notice several entries with a tick in red, click Fix checked.
• Accept the warning then repeat until they are all gone.

Reboot and tell me how your PC is running and if your desktop background still has the problem

[Cheap-o]

Still the same. I'm not sure if it really means anything, but the background doesn't get replaced until after I log in, and while the desktop is still loading up is when it suddenly changes. Also, if I log off, or even lock my computer, it goes back to my normal desktop, but as soon as I log in or unlock it, it switches back to this annoying spyware one. My icons appeared fine with all their graphics when I switched to safemode to try running the OTscanit fix too, and my background was normal then, but as soon as I switched back to normal mode, both problems came back -.-

[Rorschach112]

Ok lets try this

Delete SmitfraudFix.exe and it's folder then do the following



Before we begin, you should save these instructions in Notepad to your desktop, or print them, for easy reference. Much of our fix will be done in Safe mode, and you will be unable to access this thread at that time. If you have questions at any point, or are unsure of the instructions, feel free to post here and ask for clarification before proceeding.


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

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

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


Reboot and tell me if the problem remains

[Cheap-o]

My background is fixed, but my icons are the same. I guess that's probably not a spyware issue though. One of the programs might have done something to cause that. Anyway, here is the report:

Your logs are clean ! We need to do a few things

• Make sure you have an Internet Connection.
• Double-click OTScanIt.exe to run it. (Vista users, please right click on OTMoveit2.exe and select "Run as an Administrator")
• Click on the CleanUp! button
• A list of tool components used in the Cleanup of malware will be downloaded.
• If your Firewall or Real Time protection attempts to block OtMoveit2 to rech the Internet, please allow the application to do so.
• Click Yes to beging the Cleanup process and remove these components, including this application.
• You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.

Now we need to create a new System Restore point.

Click Start Menu > Run > type (or copy and paste)

%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

Press OK. Choose Create a Restore Point then click Next. Name it and click Create, when the confirmation screen shows the restore point has been created click Close.

Next goto Start Menu > Run > type

cleanmgr

Click OK, Disk Cleanup will open and start calculating the amount of space that can be freed, Once thats finished it will open the Disk Cleanup options screen, click the More Options tab then click Clean up on the system restore area and choose Yes at the confirmation window which will remove all the restore points except the one we just created.

To close Disk Cleanup and remove the Temporary Internet Files detected in the initial scan click OK then choose Yes on the confirmation window.



Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against malware infections.

* Keep Windows updated by regularly checking their website at :
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.

* To reduce re-infection for malware in the future, I strongly recommend installing these free programs:
SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX
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
Have a look at this tutorial for IE-Spyad here

* SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.

Make Internet Explorer more secure

• Click Start > Run
• Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
• Click on the Security tab
• Click Reset all zones to default level
• Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
• In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
• Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

* MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

* Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more
secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in pop up
blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from
Here

* Take a good look at the following suggestions for malware prevention by reading Tony Klein’s article 'How Did I Get Infected In The First Place'
Here

Thank you for your patience, and performing all of the procedures requested.

[Cheap-o]

Thank you for all your help in cleaning my computer! I finally don't have that annoying background staring me in the face like it's trying to say, "You were stupid. You got spyware." XD Thanks a lot.
