Smitfraud

Welcome to Major Geeks!

SmitFraudFix will fix true SmitFraud infections if you select option 2 to fix the problems. However what Spybot often finds are not the samething as what most SmitFraud (aka zlob) fixes typically remove. Spybot is known to report a minor registry issue as Smitfraud and for some unknown reason it cannot remove it.

Attach a log from Spybot that shows exactly what it is finding.
See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post

 

That's what I expected it would be. Not what we would classify a true Smitfraud issue.

Try the below.

Now Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Then reboot.

Does HJT still detect the problem? If so, run the fixME.reg patch again from safe boot mode.

Let me know the results.

 

According to your HJT log (which you did not rename as you should have done) ..you have numerous problems!
Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, 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:

Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis​

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
  • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
  • Bitdefender - from step 6
  • Panda Scan - from step 6
  • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
  • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
  • HijackThis ---> the last to scan and attach. Rename it!
    

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!
