Hi,

It seems I have the circle with the X on my toolbar. Unfortunately, my boyfriend click it and downloaded the software. Now, I'm infected. I have run my anti spyware software and I found a couple of things but some of the items were unable to be remove. Also the circle with an X still on my toolbar. Please help. Below is a copy of my hijack log.

SpywareQuake/SpyFalcon/Smitfraud* Removal

Note: These instructions are only for Windows 2000, XP Home, XP Pro, & 2003.

The following steps may not clean all of it, but should be a good start and will restore the desktop to default at least so you can proceed with complete removal using various tools.

1. Print out or save to notepad these instructions as we will need to do most steps offline and in SAFE MODE (so you won't have this window open to see the instruction from)

2. Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.
http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip
Extract all the files to your Destop. A folder named SmitfraudFix will be created on your Desktop.

3. Reboot into Safe Mode**

4. Open the SmitfraudFix Folder, then double-click smitfraudfix.cmd file to start the tool.
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press Enter.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?" answer Yes by typing Y and hit Enter.
The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. If a clean version is found, you will be prompted to replace wininet.dll. Answer Yes to the question "Replace infected file ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.

A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process, if you computer does not restart automatically please do it yourself manually.

5. Now please scan with HijackThis to produce a log. We will also need the log from Smitrem: The tool will create a log named rapport/txte 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 new topic.

Logs needed in your post are:
rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed

Now, unless there are still issues not reflected in your log(s), your system is clean and we are finished. Here are some simple steps you can take to reduce the chance of infection in the future.

1. Visit Windows Update:
Make sure that you have all the Critical Updates recommended for your operating system and Internet Explorer. This includes SP1 and SP2 if you use Windows XP. The first defense against infection is a properly patched Operating System.
a. Windows Update: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

If you have Word, Excel, Outlook or other Office programs installed. Consider using Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update. See the FAQ page here for more information: http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdat...t.aspx?ln=en-us

Also, download and install Microsoft Baseline Analyzer.(Note that MBSA is only for Win 2000 SP3 or later and Office XP or later) When run, it will check system for security exposures, including missing updates. I suggest running it weekly. You can obtain more information here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...s/mbsahome.mspx


2. Check your Java Runtime version. (Current=1.5.0_09, aka Version 5.0, Update 9)
You can check the current version of the Java Runtime Modules installed by opening the Java Control Panel and selecting 'About' from the 'General' tab.
The current version can be downloaded from Sun here: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Scroll down the page to 'Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 8' and press the 'Download' button. On the new web page, click the 'Accept License Agreement' button. Then select 'Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language' in the Windows Platform area just below the Accept button.

Note: Be sure to remove all prior versions using Add/Remove Programs before you install the new one. Remember to reboot after removal.

3. Adjust your security settings for ActiveX:
Select Internet Options from the Control Panels, or from Internet Explorer (Tools -> Internet Options)
Press 'default level', then OK
Now press "Custom Level."

In the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section set these options:
'Download signed ActiveX controls' - Prompt
'Download unsigned ActiveX controls' - Disable
'Initialize and script ActiveX controls not maked as safe'- Disable
All other options accept the default

For Windows XP2 SP2 users, check this link for additional steps you can take to secure Internet Explorer: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...xp/iesecxp.mspx
Also,for Sp2 SP2 and IE users, in IE, Tools -> Manage Add-ons will give you a list of all BHO's, Extensions, and ActiveX modules installed on your computer. You can update, enable or disable them.

4. Download and install the following free programs
a. SpywareBlaster (ActiveX protection): http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
b. IE/Spyad (Malicious Site protection): http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm#IESPYAD
You may want to consider also installing ZonedOut (http://www.funkytoad.com) to handle the Restricted Site List.
c. Hoster (HOSTS file manager): http://www.funkytoad.com

5. Install Spyware Detection and Removal Programs:
You may also want to consider installing one (or more) of the following:
a. Windows Defender: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s...re/default.mspx
NOTE: Windows Defender only runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 2003.
b. Spybot S&D: http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download
c. AdAware Personal: http://www.lavasoft.de/

Use these programs to regularly scan your system for and remove many forms of spyware/malware. I recommend a combination of Microsoft Spyware and TeaTimer from Spybot S&D.

If you use, or plan on using, additional spyware/malware detection and/or removal programs, please check Items 8 and 9.

6. Install A Toolbar to Detect Phishes
Phishing is prevalent and on the rise. Make sure the site you go to is real. Your ISP may offer a toolbar to warn you of fake sites or you can choose one of the following
a. Spoofstick Toolbar
b. Netcraft Toolbar
c. PhishGuard

7. Reset System Restore
If you are using Windows ME or Windows XP, please reset your System Restore. See Windows help for information.

8. Clean Temporary Files and Folders
Download and install the disk cleanup utility called Cleanup! from here:
http://cleanup.stevengould.org/
