Need assistance removing Smitfraud-C.generic from 64 bit Windows 7.

Welcome to Major Geeks!


Please do the below so that we can boot to System Recovery Options to run a scan.

For x32 (x86) bit systems download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to a flash drive.
For x64 bit systems download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 and save it to a flash drive.

Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.

Enter System Recovery Options from the Advanced Boot Options:

• Restart the computer.
• As soon as the BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until Advanced Boot Options appears.
• Use the arrow keys to select the Repair your computer menu item.
• Select US as the keyboard language settings, and then click Next.
• Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
• Select your user account an click Next.

On the System Recovery Options menu you will get the following options:

• Select Command Prompt
• In the command window type in notepad and press Enter.
• The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open.
• Select "Computer" and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.
• In the command window type e:\frst.exe (for x64 bit version type e:\frst64) and press Enter
  Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.
• The tool will start to run.
• When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please attach this file to your next reply. (See: How to attach)

 

You're welcome.


Download this >>

Save fixlist.txt to your flash drive.

• You should now have both fixlist.txt and FRST64.exe on your flash drive.

Now reboot back into the System Recovery Options as you did previously.
Run FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the flashdrive (Fixlog.txt).
Please attach this to your next message. (See how to attach)

Now boot into normal Windows can continue with the below.



Goto the below link and follow the instructions for running TDSSKiller from Kaspersky

• TDSSkiller - How to run

• Be sure to attach your log from TDSSKiller

Now please also download MBRCheck to your desktop.

See the download links under this icon

• Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (vista and Win 7 right click and select Run as Administrator)
• It will show a Black screen with some information that will contain either the below line if no problem is found:
  • Done! Press ENTER to exit...
• Or you will see more information like below if a problem is found:
  • Found non-standard or infected MBR.
  • Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
• Either way, just choose to exit the program at this point since we want to see only the scan results to begin with.
• MBRCheck will create a log named similar to MBRCheck_07.16.10_00.32.33.txt which is random based on date and time.
• Attach this log to your next message. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• Fixlog.txt
• the logs from TDSSKiller and MBRcheck
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Attach the most recent log from Malwarebytes. Don't fix anything, just attach the log so I can see what it is finding. It is probably the below:

C:\Windows\svchost.exe

We tried to remove this with FRST but it failed to really get it removed. This means something else is hiding.

Since TDSSKiller found a bunch to fix. I would like you to reboot your PC and run another scan with TDSSKiller and attach a new log so we can be sure all the TDL infection components were really removed.

 

Please attach this log so I can see if my assumption was correct. Also do the below so we can be sure your malware is gone and not just lying temporarily dormant


Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).


Then attach the below log:

• C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Just attach the logs as soon as you can. But note, I will be away after Wed May 23rd for 10 days.
