Hi Guys,

Been infected with Trojan-Spy.html.smitfraud.c. Need to know what to do. I have run adaware and spybot search and destroy to no avail. Computer is locking up frequently and my home page has been hijacked to here4search.com. Can someone help?

Download L2mfix from one of these two locations:

http://www.atribune....oads/l2mfix.exe
http://www.downloads....org/l2mfix.exe

Save the file to your desktop and double click l2mfix.exe. Click the Install button to extract the files and follow the prompts, then open the newly added l2mfix folder on your desktop. Close any programs you have open since this step requires a reboot.

From the l2mfix folder on your desktop, double click l2mfix.bat and select option #2 for Run Fix by typing 2 and then pressing enter, then press any key to reboot your computer. After a reboot, your desktop and icons will appear, then disappear (this is normal). L2mfix will continue to scan your computer and when it's finished, notepad will open with a log. Copy the contents of that log and paste it back into this thread, along with a new hijackthis log.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other files in the l2mfix folder unless you are asked to do so!

Please read these instructions carefully and print them out! Be sure to follow ALL instructions!

Next I went to the control panel to see if I could find Security IGuard, Virtual Maid and Search Maid. Couldn't find any of them. However one note, before I asked for your help I saw IGuard on my desktop and deleted it. Not sure it did any good, but I can't find it.

I next ran Killbox and deleted the listed files. I then went looking in safe mode for the same files and couldn't find them. I then ran RegistrarLite, and tried to run Hoster although I'm not sure if I did it right because after I right clicked and hit install, nothing really happened and I never was prompted to run cleanup and didn't know how to get there. Anyway here is my current Hijack log, and by the way, my background screen is now black instead of blue, for whatever that means. Thanks for your help and i look forward to hearing back from you.

Looks like something didn't go as planned.
Let's see how bad it is.

Check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

Then reboot, run HijackThis again and post a new log.

In the killbox program, select the Replace on Reboot option and put a checkmark in Use dummy.
Copy & paste this path
C:\WINDOWS\system32\nple8ogjuyw.dll
into the Full path to file to delete box.

Let the computer reboot into safe mode and run HijackThis.

The log looks much cleaner this time.

I am still in the black screen mode however. Can still see all the Desktop icons but with a black screen. Where are my beautiful palm trees of XP?

You managed to pick up two new dialers:

Fix these please:

and have a look at my site (link in signature)

Then open Notepad, and copy EVERYTHING in the code box below and paste it into a new notepad file. Change the "Save As Type" to "All Files". Save it as fix.reg on your Desktop. Make sure there is NO blank line above "REGEDIT4":

REGEDIT4

"NoSaveSettings"=-
"ClassicShell"=-
"NoThemesTab"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop]
"NoChangingWallPaper"=-

Locate fix.reg on your Desktop and double-click on it. When asked if you want to merge with the registry, click YES.

Reboot your computer again.

Let me know,

[rockyroo]

Everything looks great after that last fix. I was able to get my palm trees back and everything. Thanks for the help, that was fairly painless. Time to install the antivirus software.
