[MalwareClueless]

Hi. I have a computer that in all likelyhood has considerably more problems then the one that I am talking about. I had never realised that there existed opportunities such as this to seek expert advice, so I apologize in my logs are beyond ugly.
My most recent problem however concerns getting my computer background changed to say "Warnig Spyware Detected on your computer! Install antivirus software or spyware remover to fix the problem." The background is blue and there are ants crawling all over it until you move the mouse. I am also getting a pop that asks if I want to search for software to fix the problem, however I am not sure if this pop up is associated with the virus or not. I went to the internet to try and find a solution for this but I have found only similar problems that were slightly different. I found one that got the user to run an MS-DOS file and identified why the background was changing, I think - i'll throw my own log of this after the hijack this log. I am running a windows xp o/s.

Hi, Welcome to TSG!!



Please download (save) SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your desktop.
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop. Select all of the contents and Extract them
to a new folder called SmitfraudFix.
Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
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.

Thanks again for looking at this.

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.

Next, 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, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
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 it 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.

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.



Please post the C:\rapport.txt and a new HJT log in your next reply.

Hi. Sorry for the delay in reply, however my computer has been experiencing more problems. I am now unable to log on to windows via Safe Mode or Normal. I am getting a blue error screen saying UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. When trying to get in through safe mode there are a series of files that are listed prior to the error.

I am not sure if there are too many options left, besides reformatting the drive. But let me know if there is anything left that I should look at doing before that.

Thanks a lot for your help.

[cybertech]

You can attempt reformatting the drive, if it's not too old that may work but you will lose all of your data.

If you have important data to preserve I would suggest purchasing a new drive to format and reload. Then you can slave the old drive to try and get the data.

[MalwareClueless]

Yea, I will be looking at those options to try and save some of the data from the current hard drive.

Thanks again. It's good to know that you guys are here giving up your time to help with these types of problems.

You're welcome!
