Smitfraud-C Removal (HELP!!!)

kampfzentrum · Aug 31, 2008

I need serious help.

I got a virus from a USB disk and now my computer is infected. The virus is identified by SpyBot as Smitfraud-C and from the threads I've read on here it seems to be correct. I cannot run my computer in Normal Mode as it shuts down after a minute. Therefore, I am posting from my wife's laptop.

NOD32 doesn't recognize it, nor does Ad-Aware. SpyBot recognizes it but cannot remove it. I can only run my computer in Safe Mode as it crashes. I do have CCleaner, HiJackThis, and ComboFix already installed and ready for instructions.

I need serious help to get my deal running again.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.

Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

Note:

1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

Starting your computer in Safe mode

2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
