Hi otis,

Welcome to Geeks 2 Go. Sorry about the delay in getting to your post, we have been very busy.

Do you still require help or are your problems resolved.

Please let me know and if you still require assistance, please post a fresh HJT log.

Hi otis,

Lets see if we can clear up this mess.

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

Please right-click: HERE and go to Save As (in Internet Explorer it's "Save Target As") in order to download Grinler's reg file. Save it to your desktop.

Locate "smitfraud.reg" on your desktop and double-click it. When asked if you want to merge with the registry, click YES. Wait for the "merged successfully" prompt then follow the rest of the instructions below.

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*CLICK THIS LINK TO LEARN HOW TO VIEW HIDDEN FILES

I need you open up notepad, to copy all of the Killbox file paths below and paste them into Notepad.

C:\wp.exe
C:\wp.bmp
C:\bsw.exe
C:\Windows\sites.ini
C:\Windows\popuper.exe
C:\Windows\System32\wldr.dll
C:\Windows\System32\helper.exe
C:\Windows\System32\intmon.exe
C:\Windows\System32\shnlog.exe
C:\Windows\System32\intmonp.exe
C:\Windows\System32\msmsgs.exe
C:\Windows\system32\msole32.exe
C:\Windows\System32\ole32vbs.exe


* Please download the Killbox by Option^Explicit. *In the event you already have Killbox, this is a new version that I need you to download.

* Save it to your desktop.

* Please double-click Killbox.exe to run it.

* Select "Delete on Reboot".

* Open the Notepad file where you saved the file paths earlier and copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C

* 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.

If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

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.

Make sure you can view hidden files.

Using Windows Explorer, delete the following, if found, (please do NOT try to find them by "search" because they will not show up that way)

FOLDERS to delete (in bold) if found:

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

While still in Safe Mode, do the following:

Make sure all programs and windows are closed. Run HiJackThis and place a check next to the following items, if found, then click FIX CHECKED

Hi otis,

You can safely allow S&D to make changes, if they relate to norton, whilst you are updating.

The error you are getting relates to Norton as well.

Personally, i would uninstall Norton and download and install a free Antivirus from Grisoft called AVG....it is very good

avg here

Please also rescan your computer with HJT and post the log back so i can make sure there is no more work to do.

Regards,

Usetobe

Hi Otis,

Is there another way to send you a donation....i am still not comfortable putting my credit card number on line.


It doesn't matter about donating, the satisfaction comes by helping you to clean your system and knowing that you are going away happy.

should i remove the files avg has sent to the virus vault......should i delete them?the program asks if i am sure i want to delete them or empty the vault


Yes you can empty and delete the virus vault


you said i should do another hjl


Yes please, post a new HJT log in this thread so that i can give your system the all clear once i have checked it, together with some more good prevention advice

Hi otis,

Rescan your PC with HJT , copy and paste it into this thread, (that is all you need to do, just the HJT THING AND NOTHING ELSE) you do not need to make a new topic, just click on the reply button, and paste into the white box where you type your replies,

Regards,

Usetobe
