[dseebauer]

Hi there,

I too am suffering from one wrong web click and ended up with trojan-spy.html.smit.fraud.c on my system. I beleive I dis-abled the thing by deleting some of the files and registry hacks that were found with HJT, Spybot, and Adaware, but I can't seem to get the desktop back in order. Other symptoms that I have that seem unique from others descriptions. MyComputer is nowhere to be found. The control panel applets don't all function properly. For example, the add/remove programs applet does not populate the list to allow removal of software. Software can't install properly as well. The satrt bar is messed up as well, in that entrys are missing and wont display properly. The ones that are there don't react. Desktop icons have to be right clicked and use OPEN. No double clicks. I must have broken IE since it wont run at all now. Everytime it tries to open a web site, it is seeing it as a file.

I tried Spybot and Adaware. And AVG from Grisoft (only one I could get to install).

Please help!

Here is my current Hijack log.

I was good up to the point where I needed to got to services.msc. I dont have a RUN under the start menu. When I go to task maanger and try to start a process, I get the following error:

MMC cannot open the file C:\Windows\system32\service.msc

This may because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access.

Same goes for any of the console apps.

I've been trying snce my original post to fix this system, and tried many scanners, but nothing has helped. I am going to disable teatimer and reboot, and post a new HJT log as many things have changed.

Thanks, dave

[coachwife6]

How is it running?

[dseebauer]

I still have problems.

Start Menu is still hosed. No programs, no Run.
Control Panel Applets don't all function.
Desktop is still messed up from the initial infection.
No My computer. No Network Folder.
I was able to get the background color to change,
but I am not able to change wallpaper.
IE will not start
It tries to open websites as files.

There are probably other things not working.

Thanks,

Dave

Download CW-Shredder at the link below:
http://cwshredder.ne.../CWShredder.exe

Download http://www.derbilk.de/SpSeHjfix112.zip. to the desktop and then right-click a blank part of desktop & select new folder, call it spfix and unzip the file into that folder.

Disconnect from the net and Close ALL OPEN 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 CWShredder - Use the FIX button!

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

[dseebauer]

Thanks for stick with me. I really appreciate it. OK. Went thru SPFIX and cwshredder and both were clean. Below are the new logs.

What is the above?

I haven't tackled a smit.fraud infection before but I have tons of research to help me, so bear with me.

Did you do a scan and the scan told you that you have this infection? I am having trouble seeing signs of it. Did you clean up stuff before you posted the log?

Do you have an anti-viral product installed/updated/running?

[dseebauer]

C:\ptc\flexlm\i486_nt\obj\ptc_d.exe

This is the license deamon for the CAD software I use. It runs a service and controls what features of the software is allowed to run. The software is called Pro/Engineer.

I've done a lot since my first posting, which is why the log seems clean. I've followed just about all the advise given for this type infection. But the system still has the problems I've described.

[coachwife6]

Please run a free online virus scan here (Use IE to download)

http://www.pandasoft...n_principal.htm

Please post its results and a new hijack this log.

[dseebauer]

I can't use IE. It doesn't seem to run. When I go to start it, a dialog comes up indicating it is trying to download the file . If I pick open, it then posp up saying it doesn't have a way to open the file and would I like to find an appropriate program.

I'll try it with Firefox as that is all I have that will run.

Nope. Needs IE.

Edited by dseebauer, 07 May 2005 - 09:07 PM.

[coachwife6]

Do you have an anti-viral running? There are some free ones...Grisoft has one. Firefox can be used to download that.

[dseebauer]

I've run a bunch and have found no virus's I had AVG on for a while after the infection, but it broke at some point so I uninstalled it. I think the problem is whatever infected me, isgetting in the way of installs. the machine would not allow links to be placed in the start menu or one the desktop. Still doesn't I think. Right now, the system is running very light. I dont; even see the clock in the system tray (not sure why).

Should I re-install it?

[coachwife6]

Did you try reinstalling AVG? You really need something running right now.
