I recently ran the SmitRem program I found on this site. Looks like it removed the Trojan but it left me with an infected file/program (mininet.dll). Attached is the log file. Please let me know what I need to do to repair this, thanks

Hello Tommy

This might help you.

Click start>run and type command (cmd for NT).

Type or cut'n'paste

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

Reboot. Scan the desktop folder with eTrust Web Scanner. When done, make sure the box is check for wininet.dll and click cure.

Reboot to command prompt and delete system\wininet and oleadm (oleext), then copy clean wininet from desktop.

del c:\windows\system\wininet.dll

del c:\windows\system\oleadm.dll (oleext.dll)

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


If all of that fails, go here and download the file:

Wininet.dll

Problem is getting worse. I ran the smitfraud removal program and posted my log but got no response. The smitfile log said i had a problem with a wininet.dll file.

I downloaded and ran the Xoftspy program and it found 112 problems, including the PSGuard Smitfraud. It cleaned everything up but the PSGuard keeps coming back.

There was a message in the Xoftspy program that said I had a problem with the olean.dll (think I spelled it right)

My computer is running slower than ever now. Please advise. Here is my latest smitfiles log:

I answered your first post. Did it work? Why have you started a new thread with the same problem?
