    I recently contracted the Smitfraud virus, followed all the steps in the sticky to get rid of it, it appears everything is gone (about:blank, popups), except for the false bluescreen on the desktop background that I'm unable to change.

    I have attached my HJT log, can someone help me?

    Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad. Then click File and then Save As. Change the Save as Type to All Files. Name the file fixsmit.reg and then click save. (make sure you save it somewhere you can find it. Saving it to your Desktop may make that easy.) Double-click on the fixsmit.reg file on your desktop (or locate it with Windows Explorer and double click on it if not saved to the Desktop) and when it prompts to add to the registry say yes.

    If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
    For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).
    Look in Add/Remove Programs for the below and uninstall if found:
    SecurityIGuard or Security IGuard

    Please bring up Task Manager by hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL and click the Processes tab. Look for the below process(es) and if found, End them:
    c:\wp.exe

    Run HijackThis and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WindowsFY] C:\wp.exe

    Do you recognize the below? Is this something you use? If not, fix it to.
    O4 - Startup: deflogon.bat


    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    c:\wp.exe
    c:\wp.bmp


    If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

    Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST). Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.

    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell me how things are working.
