[Lightning1985]

Good afternoon,

I run Windows XP on my HP Pavilion lab top. Recently I have been receiving several unwanted pop-ups through internet explorer about how my computer is infected with a back door Trojan. The pop-ups also lead me to a site that tries to download their software. I have the blinking yellow triangle with an exclamation point in the bottom right hand side of the screen that warms me that I have been infected. This has been going on for about a week now and I can't seem to figure out how to solve it. I've tried Ad-Aware 2007 but doesn't seem to find the problem. Please can someone help? If I have left something out let me know and I can include any information that is needed. My HJT log is listed below. Thanks!

Welcome to TSG

Please download SmitfraudFix
to your Desktop.
Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a Notepad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

Please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
• Choose your usual account.

Once in Safe Mode, double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart anyway into normal Windows. A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply along with a new HijackThis log.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.



=====================================

How is everything running???

[Lightning1985]

Everything is running great. Don't have any pop-ups or that blinking yellow triangle at the bottom. Thank you for your help!

[sjpritch25]

Your Welcome !!!!

You can remove these files and folders on your Desktop
SmitfraudFix.exe
SmitfraudFix


Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application. Beware it is NOT supported for use in 9x or ME and probably will not install in those systems

Ugrading Java:

• Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u5.
  
• Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
  
• Click the "Download" button to the right.
  
• Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
  
• The page will refresh.
  
• Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  
• Go to Start > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java version.
  
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  
• Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.

Now that your system is clean you should SET A NEW RESTORE POINT to prevent future reinfection from the old restore point AFTER cleaning your system of any malware infection. Any trojans or spyware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore and are waiting to re-infect you. Since System Restore is a protected directory, your tools can not access it to delete files, trapping viruses inside. Setting a new restore point should be done to prevent any future reinfection from the old restore point and enable your computer to "roll-back" in case there is a future problem.

To SET A NEW RESTORE POINT:
1. Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
2. Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the R.P. a name then click "Create". The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
3. Then go to Start > Run and type: Cleanmgr
4. Click "OK".
5. Click the "More Options" Tab.
6. Click "Clean Up" in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created one.

Graphics for doing this are in the following links if you need them.
How to Create a Restore Point.
How to use Cleanmgr.

======================================

Here is some useful information on keeping your computer clean:

1. Most important thing is to make sure Windows is kept up to date with the latest patches and updates from Windows Update.
2. Here are two great Preventive programs:
   1. SpywareBlaster protects you from malicious ActiveX controls and cookies. Make sure and check for updates twice a month.
   2. IESpyads adds a long list of bad sites to your Restricted sites in Internet Explorer and protects against drive by downloads.
3. Surf Safe with McAfee's SiteAdisor. SiteAdisor will work with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. SiteAdisor is a browser plugin that assigns a safety rating to domains listed in your search engine. SiteAdvisor uses the following color codes to indicate the safety level of each site.
   1. Red for Warning
   2. Yellow for Use Caution
   3. Green for Safe
   4. Grey for Unknown
   
   Here are the link to install SiteAdisor in Internet Explorer and Firefox
4. Anti-Spyware Programs I Recommend:
   • Free Anti-Spyware Programs
   1. Lavasoft's Ad-Aware SE Personal
   2. Windows Defender
5. For Even More Information On Securing Your Computer read Tony Klein's So How Did I Get Infected In The First Place

[Lightning1985]

Ok so I did what you instructed to do. When I was removing all the old versions of Java there was two Java(TM) 6 Update that was still there. I did not remove because it did not have Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name. Did not know if this was a problem. Please let me know. I created the restore point just like you said to do. Please let me know if there is anything wrong or what I should do now. Thanks.

[sjpritch25]

The new version's of Java runtime are called Java(TM). You did everything correctly.
