Please help.

I have submitted this same Trojan-virus attack over 3 days ago with no response. I have the Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c virus.

I can change the desktop image now (after using the different spy removal software products listed in your intro), but I only have 3 of the menus in the desktop properties dialog box.

Here is my hijackthis log.

Thank you for your help.

I will.

Thank you very much for the quick response. Sorry for multiple topics. I just kept noticing other topics (of similar subject matter) with many responses.

Again sorry.

Thank you.

[pointsurf]

I am on the last step of your reply, which states....4) Run this online virus scan: ActiveScan.

Problem is...my Internet Explorer does not work (I am able to log-on to the internet...using Netscape). But...ActiceScan requires Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.

Any ideas???

Thank you again for all your help.

-Todd

[pointsurf]

Here is my latest HiJackthis log. It is done WITHOUT doing the ActiveScan.

Still need to figure out how to get my Internet Explorer to work again.

Sorry for the delay in response Todd.
Can check and see that the path is correct,
Right click on your IE icon, click on properties, and check that the path is

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

Also would you try
Click Start, Click Run type in iexplore.exe click OK and see if it opens please,

[pointsurf]

Thanks. IE is working fine again.

Microsoft Binder is loading at start up each time I log on. Anyway to disable that.

Also...here is my last HJT log. Does everything look ok?

Thanks for all your help. Very much appreciated.

Hi Todd looking better

• Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check mark next to the following, making sure you get them all and not any others by mistake:
  
  R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
  O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Find Fast.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\BINDER.EXE
  O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE
  O4 - Global Startup: Office Startup.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\BINDER.EXE
  O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
  O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
  
  Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.
  
  
  
  Please run these two online scans. Make sure they are set to clean automatically:
  
  TrendMicro's HouseCall
  ActiveScan
  
  You should try to delete any files that these scanners are unable to clean. Make sure you check the 'Disinfect automatically' option in Active scan, and check the “Auto Clean” option in TrendMicro, Then let us know if its working better and what the scans found.
  
  Then scan again with HijackThis and post another log please.

[pointsurf]

Everything seems to be running smoothly.

Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Let me know if there is anything else I should do...per this latest HJT log.

Thanks again,
-Todd

[don77]

Looks great Todd

Assuming Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal is your primary Anti Virus I would suggest removing AVG,

Aside from that

Nice job your log is clean !
How is it running ?
Please use the following suggestion to help prevent reinfection

Download the following program, For keeping crap off your system to begin with
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests. Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox. Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Download Spyware Blaster

Keep AD-Aware. and Spybot 1.3 handy, Check them for updates prior to running and run them weekly
Same with your Anti Virus,

For an added check run an online virus scan, you can use one of the 2 below,
TrendMicro's HouseCall
ActiveScan

Be sure and give the Temp folders a cleaning out now and then as well, Make sure after you clean your Temp files to empty out your Recycle bin as well.
For ease use the following program
Download and install Cleanup
Run "Cleanup" and when it has finished, Reboot

Remeber to Check Windows for updates

Probably a good time to create a new restore point See Here Name it clean or something like that,

[pointsurf]

Thanks for all your help.
