Hi,

I'm experiencing the same problems as the poster in this thread. I've completed all the steps in the "Read and Run Me FIRST..." thread, but I'm still getting some ads when browsing via IE. I'm also worried that problems will arise in a few hours, as happened to the other poster. I've attached all the pertinent logs to this thread as required. I greatly appreciate any help that could be provided, thank you in advance.

Justin

Attached are the other applicable logs. Thanks again!

P.S. - This is a work-related computer, so any help before Wednesday would really be great, thanks!

Going to bed, hoping to have a fix for tomorrow.

I realize the assistance provided is free of charge and often thankless, but I can't stress enough how much it would mean to me to be able to fix this tomorrow morning.

I really do appreciate whatever steps can be provided, thanks again.

Alright then, I'm willing to pay for a detailed fix, much like the one in the referenced thread, if that helps.

Please?

You can also do the below three procedures highlighted in three separate quote boxes.

I'm going to post two messages related to SmitFraudFix! This is the first! Complete this procedure completely including attaching the requested log before doing the second procedure.

Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.

Extract all the files to your Destop. A folder named SmitfraudFix will be created on your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press Enter
This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works. When it is done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please attach that log in your next reply.

Note:process.exe ( which is used my SmitFraudFIx ) 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. The below is a link to what process.exe is.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other options until you are asked to do so!

MAKE SURE TO ATTACH THE ABOVE rapport.txt before continuing or else you will overwrite it.

This is the second message about SmitFraudFix. Make sure you have follow the first procedure before doing the below.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. Ask any questions that you may have before starting.

Please print out or copy these instructions to Notepad as the internet will not be (while in Safe Mode) available to you at certain points of the removal process. Make sure to work through all the Steps in the exact order in which they are listed below. Again, if there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before moving on with the fixes.

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode per the safe directions in the READ & RUN ME.

Open the SmitfraudFix Folder of your Desktop, 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 it is infected and a clean version is found, you will be prompted to replace the infected wininet.dll with the clean file. 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. BUT Reboot in Safe Mode.

The tool will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed.

Now reboot into normal mode and attach this new rapport.txt log here.
Click to expand...

1. Download this file - combofix.exe
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it will produce a log for you. Attach this log to your next reply

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall!
Click to expand...

Now also attach new logs from HJT, GetRunKey and ShowNew.

Hi chaslang,

Ironically enough, I just finished the past few hours of steady doses of virus scanning, picking apart my HJT entries, and specific virus killers (including those listed above) after reading up on everything I could on this forum and several others. I'm attaching the requested logs with my fingers tightly crossed (and my eyelids slightly heavy, also in NJ) in hopes that nothing remains...

Look forward to hearing back soon, thx!

chaslang · Oct 12, 2006

You did not attach the SmitFraufFix logs and the log from ComboFix! Did you run them?

You logs are clean except for the fact that you did not uninstall the below in step 0 of the READ ME:
Viewpoint Manager (Remove Only)
Viewpoint Media Player

Are you still having problems?
