Smit_Fraud:
My wall paper has been swapped by an error blue page saying that my computer is infected by Tojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c

PSguard:
There are these annoying pop-ups everywhere some time after running Spybot.

Trojan horse:
My antivirus (AVD) detects this virus every time a turn my computer on in the file SE.dll
I 've got like 20 with the same name in quarantine.

I've runned Spybot, Ad-Aware, Cleanup40, CWShredder and Trojan hunt and nothing seems to work. I'm really desperate.


I have the problem of the ActiveX programs as well, and perhaps it could be related with the stuff above. I can't update windows 98 or scan my pc online whatever security level i use. I always get a prompt saying "Current security settings prohibit running Active X controls".


I know is too much for a computer, but, as far as i've been able to read, these problems seem to be a kind of epidemy or plague.

I attach my hijack this file as well

Thanks

Hi and welcome to GeeksToGo! My name is Sam and I will be helping you.

I see you are running Hijackthis from your desktop. Please create a directory on your c: drive called c:\hijackthis and move hijackthis into that directory. Run the program from that directory from now on. It is essential that you follow these steps or certain important features of the program will not function correctly.

Once you have Hijackthis running from a within a folder please reboot and post a new hijackthis log.

You have two separate infections. We will need two separate tools to clean them.

Please download Seeker's SpSeHjfix

• Save the file to your desktop.
• Right click on the file and extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.

Please download SmitRem.zip

• Save the file to your desktop.
• Right click on the file and extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.

Now that you have the right tools we can start fixing your problem.
Please print out these instructions as the rest of this fix must be done in Safe mode and you won't be able to access the Internet.

Please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

* if you have trouble getting into Safe mode go here for more info.




Once in Safe mode, follow these steps:

• Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool.
  • Follow the prompts on screen.
  • Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
  • 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.
• Next run SpSeHjfix.bat.
  • Click "Start Disinfection" and follow the prompts.
  • Allow your computer to reboot when required.
  • Post the logfile from the tool here for me when done.

Post the log files from both of the tools that you ran as well as a new hijackthis log.

Well, alot of things seem to have changed thank to you. That annoying wall paper has disapeared. The trojan which caused a change in my internet explorer home page seems to have vanished as well, i don't get that message (virus detected in se.dll) every time i click on IE. And, what is even more surprising is that i've been able to update my windows!!. I don't get that prompt about ActiveX controls any more!!.

I post what you told me to:

Good to hear that things are working again!

Just a couple things to fix still.
Run Hijackthis again, click scan, and Put a checkmark next to each of these. Then close all other windows--you should only see HijackThis on your Desktop--and click the Fix Checked button.

Aside from that, your log looks clean to me!
How are things on your end? Any problems?

[maladeta]

Done

Just a couple of questions,

-How can i mmodify the topic, so other people can see easily that it's been solved?

-Should i install a firewall to prevent future infections? if so, which is the best freeware firewall?

-What do i have to do to know what you know?

Thank you very much indeed

[Buckeye_Sam]

To answer your questions...

I will mark the thread as resolved and close it when we're done.

I recommend using Zone Alarm as a firewall. There is a free version and it works very well.

If you are interested in learning how to fight malware there are some excellent resources and classes available. Including a training program right here at Geeks to Go. Check out this link for more info.

http://www.geekstogo...hers-t2792.html


Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

• Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and reenable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point left over from what we have just cleaned.
  
  You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:
  
  Managing Windows Millenium System Restore
  
  or
  
  Windows XP System Restore Guide
  
  Renable system restore with instructions from tutorial above
  
  
• Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click once on the Security tab
  • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click once on the Custom Level button.
    
    • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
    • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
    • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
    • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
    • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
    • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
    • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
    • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
• Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
  
  See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:
  
  Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources
  
  
• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
  
  For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
  
  Understanding and Using Firewalls
  
  
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  
  
• Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.

• Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.
