Before we fix anything, could you please mail me a (preferably zipped ) copy of these files:

Please send it to pieterATwilderssecurity.org (replace AT with @)

Then copy the part in bold below into notepad and save it as smitfraudnew.reg

Shut down Microsoft AntiSpyware (rightclick in systray will give you that option) and doubleclick the file we made.
Confirm you want to merge it with the registry and reboot.

Post a new log when you are done.

Good job sofar. :tazz:

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

(improved version of what we used before)

Go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and remove the following programs, if found:

Security IGuard
Virtual Maid
Search Maid

Exit Add/Remove Programs.

*IMPORTANT* Be sure you know how to VIEW HIDDEN FILES

Press CTRL ALT DELETE to open Windows Task Manger. Click on the Processes tab and end the processes that were identified as related and any of the processes named in the list a bit further down.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\shnlog.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\intmon.exe

Doubleclick smitfraud.reg and confirm you want to merge it with the registry.

*Click Here to download Killbox by Option^Explicit.
*Extract the program to your desktop and double-click on its folder, then double-click on Killbox.exe to start the program.
*In the killbox program, select the Delete on Reboot option.
*Open the text file with these instructions in it, and copy the file names below to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing Control-C:

C:\wp.exe

C:\Windows\popuper.exe
C:\Windows\System32\helper.exe
C:\Windows\System32\intmonp.exe

C:\Windows\System32\ole32vbs.exe
C:\Windows\system32\msole32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\hp3441.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\System32\shnlog.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\intmon.exe

*Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose "Paste from Clipboard".
*Click the red-and-white "Delete File" button. Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click "No" at the Pending Operations prompt.

While your computer is restarting, tap the F8 key continually until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode, then hit enter.

Run HijackThis and put checkmarks in front of he following items.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O2 - BHO: VMHomepage Class - {FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\hp3441.tmp

Make sure you can view hidden files.

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

Reboot into normal mode.

1.) Download the Hoster from HERE Press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program.

3.) Download, install, and run CleanUp!
