Need Help. My desktop has been changed to a blue screen with the error message saying that I have been effected with Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c. The message says that it has caused some sort of fatal error. I have run many, many virus scans which have helped clean up a lot of stuff and everything appears to be clean, except that the message remains. However, after every few days my Ad-Aware finds a few more "critical objects" but AVG scan finds nothing. I have had this problem for two months already. Here is my HijackThis Log File. Thanking you in advance for your help, could really use it.

Welcome tanni7 to Geeks to Go!

Please read these instructions carefully. You may want to print them. Copy the text to a Notepad file and save it to your desktop! We will need the file later.
Be sure to follow ALL instructions!

I don't see all the 'signs' for Smitfraud, but I'll run you through the motion and clear the infection I do see along with it. Please do all, even though you may have done them some time ago.

***

We need to disable Antispyware for the duration of the fix, for it will stand in the way of cleaning up.

Open Microsoft AntiSpyware.
Click on Options, Settings.
In the left pane, click on Real-time Protection.
Under Startup Options uncheck: Enable the Microsoft AntiSpyware Security Agents on startup (recommended).
Under Real-time spyware threat protection uncheck: Enable real-time spyware threat protection (recommended).
After you uncheck these, click on the Save button and close Microsoft AntiSpyware.
Right click on the Microsoft AntiSpyware icon on the taskbar and select Shutdown Microsoft AntiSpyware.

***

We need to make sure all hidden files are showing so please:* Click Start.
* Open My Computer.
* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
* Select the View Tab.
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
* Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Click Yes to confirm.
* Click OK.
***

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.

***

Open HijackThis
Go to ‘config’
Go to ‘misc tools’
Press the button ‘open uninstall manager’
In the list find:

Security IGuard
Virtual Maid
Search Maid

Press ‘delete this item’.

Save the results from the scan!

i am so grateful for your help in getting rid of my blue screen error message in regards to the Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c I did follow your instructions carefully, however I did not find the logfiles in the system 32 folder. I also did not find the Search Maid, Virtual Maid, and Security IGuard in the program files folder. I did a Housecall virus scan and it did not find anything. I really appreciate your assistance with this since it has been a pain in my side for the past 2 months! Thanks again!! Here is my Highjack This log. Running processes:

You really need to update Windows to at least SP1.

Again disable Antispyware and put a check to these to in HijackThis:

O9 - Extra button: Microsoft AntiSpyware helper - {6F00EFCD-E5BC-4BDC-9828-AD9481CC5D8F} - (no file) (HKCU)
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Microsoft AntiSpyware helper - {6F00EFCD-E5BC-4BDC-9828-AD9481CC5D8F} - (no file) (HKCU)

Than press Fix checked, close HijackThis and reboot.

Please download ewido security suite it is a trial version of the program.

• Install ewido security suite
• When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
• Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
• The program will prompt you to update click the OK button
• The program will now go to the main screen

You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.

• On the left hand side of the main screen click update
• Click on Start

The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
Once the updates are installed do the following:

• Click on scanner
• Make sure the following boxes are checked before scanning:
  • Binder
  • Crypter
  • Archives
• Click on Start Scan
• Let the program scan the machine

While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files, click OK

Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report

• Click Save report
• Save the report to your desktop

Reboot your machine and post back the ewido.txt log file you saved by using Add Reply.

I appreciate the advice you suggested in your reply, and once again, I did follow your instructions. This time around I found the Extra Button...as well as the Extra Tools...in Highjack This and checked them. I did the Ewido scan and 2 things came up during the scan. Here are the results. Thank you again for your further assistance!! ewido security suite - Scan report

These two really need to go. They don't belong to Antispyware, but are made by the malware.

Again disable Antispyware as instructed and remove these using HijackThis.

Then update Microsoft to at least SP1.

Please post back a new HijackThis log including the header starting with:
Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
Scan saved at etc.
