NEED HELP TO REMOVE Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c

So why did you post another one??

Please read the announcement and sticky threads. HJT logs should only be posted when requested and then they must be attachments to your message. Please run the steps below.

- You should first bring up Control Panel and run Add/Remove programs and uninstall Messenger Plus! 3. It can put all kinds of bad stuff on your PC including a LOP infection.

- Do you know what the below is? I'm not sure if it is valid or not.
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MSNShell] C:\Program Files\MSNShell\BIN\MSNShell.exe autorun

- Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

- Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem, boot into normal mode and make sure you follow these directions:


- Download HijackThis 1.99.1

- Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

- Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

- Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

- Run HijackThis and save your log file.

- Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

 

Also do you know what the below is:

O4 - Global Startup: Windows Sniper.lnk = C:\Program Files\WindowsSniper\WindowsSniper.exe


You seem to be running both Panda and Avast antivirus programs. You must only run one. Uninstall one of them.

 

What does MSNShell.exe do? I assume it is somehow used with MSN but who makes it and what is it used for?

 

You did not install MessengerPlus3. As I said this can add all kinds of bad stuff to your PC. Sneaky software like this is not to be trusted.

Stinger should not be running when doing a HijackThis scan.

You still have both Panda and Avast installed. You MUST uninstall one of them.

Look in Add/Remove programs for iMesh and uninstall if found.

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).

Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\html.exe

After killing all the above processes, click "Back".
Then please click "Scan" 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:
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdocpv.dll/security.htm#subID=PSFV;6384

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
C:\Program Files\iMesh
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svcnut32.exe

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.

Additional step to delete html.exe:
- Click Start, Run, and enter cmd in the box and click OK. This opens a commend prompt windows.
- Enter the following command lines each followed by the enter key
cd C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\
attrib -r -h -s html.exe
del html.exe
exit

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 we need to Reset Web Settings:
1) If you have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, goto step 2. If not, skip to step 3.
2) Now right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK. Then skip step 3.
3) If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

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

 

Copy the contents of the below Quote Box to Notepad. Then click File and then Save As. Change the Save as Type to All Files. Name the file fixadt.reg and then click save. (make sure you save it somewhere you can find it. Saving it to your Desktop may make that easy.) Then double-click on the fixadt.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 in to the registry, say yes.

Now reboot and do the below.

Fixing Locked Desktop
Also you should right click on your Desktop and select Properties. Then click the Desktop tab and then the Customize Desktop button. Now in the next window that comes up click the Web tab. Make sure at the bottom that Lock desktop items is unchecked. Then in the Web pages: box delete all items but My Current Home Page and make sure it is unchecked too. Then click OK. Apply. OK.

Now let me know where things stand. If this does not work, we will have to run the full Smitfraud cleanup process even though none of the items seem to be showing.

 

You're welcome. Now that you are clean, see the below thread to help keep you clean:
