When I booted up the Windows screen last week the background included a text message repeated throughout the screen: "A fatal error in IE has occurred at 0028:C0011E36 in VXD VM(001) + 00010E36" and "Error was caused by Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c"

I ran Norton Anti-Virus which accomplished the following: it quarantined some malware; it indicated that it could not delete Bloodhound.w32.EP; and when I rebooted I received a message that wininet.dll could not be found; I also received a message that outpostupdate could not be found. When I rebooted I could no longer access the Internet.

I restored wininet.dll so I could connect to the Internet, and I signed on to GeeksToGo. I followed the instructions for removing malware (i.e., I ran the five or six recommended programs). Finally, I ran HiJackThis. The message described above still appears on my screen when I reboot. This is the HiJack log.

Welcome to GTG.

You have two problems there. Let's take care of them one at a time:

Download CWShredder http://www.greyknigh.../CWShredder.exe

Right click a blank part of your desktop & select New->Folder. Call it SPFix. Go to http://www.derbilk.de/404.html and download SpSeHjfix. Get the one that's specified for your Operating System. So if you have Windows 98, get the one that's listed for Windows 98.

Disconnect from the net and close all programs. Run SpSeHjfix and click on 'Start Disinfection'. When it's finished it will reboot your machine to finish the cleaning process. The tool creates a log of the fix which will appear in the folder.

If it doesn't find any of the SE files or any hidden reinstallers it will say system clean and not go on to next stage.

Now run the CWShredder and hit the Fix button.

Reboot and post a fresh HijackThis log and the log that was created by SpSeHjfix.

GreyKnight,

I'm not sure why the GeeksToGo Instructions say not to "bump" or reply. Was I not supposed to reply to your recommendation to run SPSeHjFix and CWShredder?

Anyway, assuming this reply is OK, here are the SPSeHjFix log and a fresh HiJackThis log as requested.

Thanks again!

[greyknight17]

No, replying is perfectly legitimate here, especially when you either have a question or post the followup logs (like you did here). There are some users who bump constantly trying to push their posts to the top (first page). They just want to get priority. I usually work on older logs first, so this might not do them any good. It's best to leave your post (initial post at least) untouched until a helper arrives. We will see that no one replied to your post and will jump in to help.

In your case, you don't need to worry about no one replying. Once we reply to a user's topic, we are subscribed to it. So if you reply to your topic again (like you did here), I will see it and take a look.

So to sum it up , what you did here is not really bumping. You are replying and posting a followup to my reply

OK, now to the fix

I want you to run that through the same fix I gave you earlier again (SpSeHjfix and others...). It seems to have returned here. After you do that, save the log so you can post it later on.

Do these after:

Download smitRem.zip at http://noahdfear.gee.../click.php?id=1 and save the file to your desktop.
Unzip the file to it's own folder on the desktop.

If you have not already installed Ad-Aware SE 1.06, follow the download and setup instructions at http://rstones12.gee...areSE_setup.htm. Otherwise, check for updates. Don't run it yet!

Restart your computer and boot into Safe Mode by hitting the F8 key repeatedly until a menu shows up (and choose Safe Mode from the list). In some systems, this may be the F5 key, so try that if F8 doesn't work.

Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):

Open the smitRem folder and double click on the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on the screen. Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

Delete these if found:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\intel32.exe
C:\Program Files\PSGuard\
systemp.dll

The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.

Open Ad-aware and do a full scan. Remove all it finds.

Next go to Control Panel->Display->Desktop->Customize Desktop->Web-> Uncheck 'Security Info' if present.

Reboot back into Windows and go to http://www.pandasoft...n_principal.htm to do a full system scan. Make sure the autoclean box is checked. Save the scan log and post it along with a new HijackThis log, the contents of the smitfiles.txt log and the Ewido log (if you ran it).

Also post that SpSeHjfix log you saved earlier.
