    Hi, I have had problems with my computer running really slow for a while now. Sites would also redirect to other ones. I would click a link, and it would take me to google or some other search engine with porn words filled in the search area. I downloaded Spybot Search and Destroy and it took care of the majority of the issues. It could not remove a registry entry from Smitfraud though. Here is the log from Spybot.

    Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled: Settings (Registry change, fixed)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc\Start!=W=2

    Smitfraud-C.CoreService: Settings (Registry key, fixing failed)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\core

    Zlob.DNSChanger: TCP/IP Settings #1 (Undefined) (Registry change, fixed)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\NameS erver=208.67.220.220,208.67.222.222

    That Smitfraud entry can not be removed for some reason. I did a HijackThis scan and here is the log.


    Edit by chaslang: Inline HJT log removed. READ & RUN ME sticky not followed.

    Thanks

    Welcome to Major Geeks!
    1. Download this file - combofix.exe
    2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
    3. When finished, it will produce a log ( c:\combofix.txt ) for you. Attach this log to your next reply. See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post
    Note:

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



    If you still have problems at this point, continue on with the below instructions.

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, renaming, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • 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 make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.
    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy. - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!

    Okay ComboFix fixed a bunch of problems; however, I highly recommend you continue on with the other instructions since you may have additional problems.
