Hi,

did you have a chance to note down the error code of the BSOD, or is it rebooting automatically?

Have you run ComboFix in the past and did you get the same error then?

It's the type that reboots right away, but I snagged a picture anyway just in case that big number is relevant.

Before I came to the site I wanted to use combofix on my own for the virus and had the same problem.

Hi,
please run TDSSKiller instead then:

• Download TDSSKiller and save it to your Desktop.
• Extract its contents to your desktop and make sure TDSSKiller.exe (the contents of the zipped file) is on the Desktop itself, not within a folder on the desktop.
• Go to Start > Run (Or you can hold down your Windows key and press R) and copy and paste the following into the text field. (make sure you include the quote marks) Then press OK.
  
  "%userprofile%\Desktop\TDSSKiller.exe" -l C:\TDSSKiller.txt
  
  
• If it says "Hidden service detected" DO NOT type anything in. Just press Enter on your keyboard to not do anything to the file.
• When it is done, a log file should be created on your C: drive called "TDSSKiller.txt" please copy and paste the contents of that file here.

Hello, Tdsskiller found it, I was watching and it was the very last thing it scanned.

P.S. I thought I could just leave the proram by clicking next, and now it's set to remove the file ater a resart, I will abstain from restarting though for now just in case.

Hi,

that log says "scan interrupted by user" and doesn't find anything. Do you have another log?

Do you remember where it found the infection? Did it say it was in a partition?

Shoot, I had tried to start another scan to do it without choosing to delete on restart, but canceled it when I found the file, I must've gotten the new file from the scan I started and canceled.

Also my computer turned itself off when I was away....

I try another scan and see if it's still the same.

Hi,

well I have a good idea what was on the PC which is why we ran TDSSKiller, if it turned off and on again successfully, that means all went well too. So there's not too much to worry about.

I was really just trying to collect the necessary information to undo what was done in case things go bad. (Which they don't often do, but it's always worth to be prepared for the worse. )

If you remember what it found, I'd still like to know though.

regards myrti

[James Brady]

Tada!

I will restart then.

Hi,

did the reboot go well? How is the PC doing now?

regards myrti

[James Brady]

The PC booted up fine, but I ran a scan with spybot and the virus showed back up.

[myrti]

Hi,

can you give me the exact name of the virus found and the file in which it found it.

regards myrti

[James Brady]

Well according to TdssKiller I guess the name of the virus was "Rootkit.Boot.Pihar.b"

But spybot just calls it "Smitfraud-C.generic", and says it's in "C://windows/svchost.exe"

P.S. Spybot used to delete it but now says I don't have the privileges.

[myrti]

Hi,

they are not detecting the same infection. The infection TDSSKiller found is installed on its own partition and does not (normally) drop files onto your windows partition. Therefore anything found in your windows partition is likely to be from a different type of infection.

I'd like us to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan

• Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
  ESET OnlineScan
• Click the button.
• For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
  • Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on the icon on your desktop.
• Check
• Click the button.
• Accept any security warnings from your browser.
• Check
• Push the Start button.
• ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
• When the scan completes, push
• Push , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
• Push the button.
• Push

I guess two of the viruses it found were already quarantined by Spybot.

Hi,

the other was in your temporary files, not an active infection either.

So is Spybot still seeing SmitFruad? And if so in which file?
