Possible Smitfraud infection

    I beleive my problem started after downloading add-ons for a WoW UI. I had read about keyloggers being distributed that way, but I have not been able to find any so far.

    I have been experiencing bad lag, and lockups, and sometimes a slow internet connection. I have gone through all steps in the READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support (through step 7) and have attached my logs.

    The reason I think it is smitfraud is becuase of this entry in the NewFiles.txt log:

    Locating all files created in D:\WINDOWS\System32\components within the last 90 days.
    This folder is now being used by Trojan.FakeAlert.CX aka SmitFraud

    I wanted to check with you before I ran a fix to make sure that I proceed the correct way with this, as I don't want to mess up the cleaning process.


    Please let me know if I am leaving out any information. Thanks!

    You logs do not show any signs of malware. You will have to look elsewhere for your problems with your games. The section of the ShowNew log you quoted read like below. Note the part I'm highlighting in bold!
    That means none of the files were found. The first part is just a notice that was added a when Smitfraud started using that folder to deposit its files on PCs.
