Dear geeks to Go
I am a complete novice when it comes to technical stuff with my laptop. I have some terrible virus but not sure what. I ahve tried to follow your help before posting this message but can't get past the first stage - ATF. Basically I think I managed to pick up a trojan virus - think ie defender. Computer was completely blocked with messages telling me to download programmes to help me - no porn at that stage but computer unusable. I bought xoftspy and reg cure and fixiedef and this seemed to really help at first. Unfortunately though I now am really suffering with terrible porn sites popping up on the creen that will not close. Also often get audio sounds like voices from film clips or music etc., which can't be turned off without closing down whole thing. Its driving me mad.
is there anything you can advise to help me?
Like I say, I'm not terribly technical but would like to have a go myself at trying to rid my laptop of whatever it is.
I have been on youtube, facebook, myspace - don't know if any of those could have caused the problem. By the way, the porn site is called porntube.
many thanks in anticipation

Hello bulmerlinda

Welcome to G2Go. :)
=====================
* Click here to download HJTsetup.exe
  • Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
  • Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Hijack This.
  • Click on I agree
  • Then Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Dear Geeks to Go
I have done as you asked re: download of HJT. However, since sending first message I did finally manage to work my way through some of the steps indicated on your website up to malware and superspyware - I'm not sure if the panda thing worked properly, but there it where I got up to. Hope the following log helps.
many thanks again
Linda bulmer

Hi do you currently use Norton?
It is showing in your log (is it out of date)?.
================================================

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 the user.
