Hi.
I'm not much of a computer wiz, so I figured I'd post here before I try anything myself that I don't 100% understand!
My computer (running Windows ME) is infected with PSGuard and Smitfraud... I assume they were downloaded together as they both appeared this morning after my step-dad had been "browsing" last night.

Could anyone please examine my HJT logfile and let me know of the steps I'd have to take to get rid of this annoyance?

Welcome to GTG.

I don't see any signs here, but we'll proceed with the instructions. WHen you get to the red part below, make sure you CURE that wininet.dll file if it's infected, before you proceed any further. Otherwise that file might be deleted by Panda during the scan.

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes. You should 'not' have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.

Download smitRem at http://noahdfear.gee.../click.php?id=1 and save the file to your 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!

Download CleanUp! http://cleanup.stevengould.org/ (Alternate Link if main link don't work - http://www.greyknigh...spy/CleanUp.exe ) and install it. 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.

CleanUp! deletes EVERYTHING out of your temp/temporary folders, it does not make backups. If you have any documents or programs that are saved in any Temporary Folders, please make a backup of these before running CleanUp!. Run CleanUp! and click on the Options button. Uncheck 'Scan local drives for temporary files'. Also uncheck those two Newsgroup entries if you don't want to delete them. Click OK and then click on the CleanUp! button. Let it run. After it's done, choose Yes to logoff.

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):

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =


Run the smitRem.exe tool you downloaded earlier. Follow the prompts on the 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.

If you are using Windows 95/98 or Windows ME, you MUST do the following steps that are enclosed in the starting and ending double lines before proceeding any further (if you have problems STOP right now and tell us what the problem is):
========================================================================
Go to Start->Run and type in notepad and hit OK. Then copy and paste the following into Notepad:

copy c:\windows\system\wininet.dll c:\windows\desktop
del copy.bat


Save the file as "copy.bat". Make sure to save it with the quotes. Double click on it.

Reboot. Scan the desktop folder with eTrust Web Scanner at http://www3.ca.com/s...sinfo/scan.aspx. When done, make sure the box is checked for wininet.dll and click cure.

Go to Start->Run and type in notepad and hit OK. Then copy and paste the following into Notepad:

del c:\windows\system\wininet.dll
del c:\windows\system\oleadm.dll
del c:\windows\system\oleext.dll
copy c:\windows\desktop\wininet.dll c:\windows\system
del delete.bat


Save the file as "delete.bat". Make sure to save it with the quotes. Double click on it.
========================================================================


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

Next go to Control Panel->Display->Desktop (or Appearance)->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.

Then post the Panda log here along with the logs for HijackThis and smitfiles.txt.

Hey greyknight. Thanks alot for your help!
I'm still having a problem with it though.
Everything works fine until I get to the "delete.bat" portion of the removal.
This is shown on the screen:

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>del c:\windows\system\wininet.dll
Access denied

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>del c:\windows\system\oleadm.dll
Access denied

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>del c:\windows\system\oleext.dll
File not found

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>copy c:\windows\desktop\wininet.dll c:\windows\system
Sharing violation - c:\windows\system\WININET.DLL
0 file(s) copied

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>del delete.bat

Should I do something else to allow windows to delete wininet.dll? It doesnt seem to have permission or something...

Still not cured, but I'll post the HJT and smitfiles logs.

Try it again to see if it works, but don't run Panda scan yet. Run through those steps to see if the wininet.dll file can be cured.

The file itself can be cured... when copied to the desktop, the webscan cures it, but it won't move back into the system folder. Still having the problem with delete.bat
sorry to be such a trouble

i'm pretty sure smitfraud is gone, as panda disinfected it and nothing shows up on ad-aware, so it's just a matter of permenantly deleting PSGuard now.

I guess we'll have to do this the hard way then. Boot up your computer with your Windows ME (or better yet, a Windows 98) bootdisk. Load it without cdrom support. At the command prompt, type in each of the following (hit ENTER key after each line):

copy c:\windows\system\wininet.dll c:\windows\desktop
del c:\windows\system\wininet.dll
del c:\windows\system\oleadm.dll
del c:\windows\system\oleext.dll
copy c:\windows\desktop\wininet.dll c:\windows\system


Restart (ctrl+alt+del) and boot into Safe Mode. Run smitRem file again and restart. Post smitfiles.txt along with a new HijackThis log.
