SmitFraudFix download problem

Welcome to Majorgeeks!

Run through these step in the order laid out, just to see if the cleanup routines which are the early steps allow you to download files, do please tell us any errors or issues in downloading. But if you can run many of the scans to get logs from the guide below do attach which ones you can get.



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

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

 

I'm not sure it helped since you did not do step 2. At least not according to the fact that you only posted one rapport.txt log which was from the scan only part and does not fix anything.

ComboFix did not run complete but it did fix much of your SmitFraud problem.

This is because ComboFix did not run properly thanks to McAfee getting in the way. Too bad McAfee cannot detect and remove real malware instead of detecting tools being used to fix your malware that it misses.

You can fix your clock from Control Panel ->Regional and Language Options and then on the Regional Options tab click the Customize button then on the next form click the Time tab. Then change the Time format to what you want. It explains there what the lower case and upper case letters will do. Upper case H is giving you 24 hour clock settings.

NOOO!!! You should never be using MSconfig for anything other than temporary debugging.

How to deal with startup processes.

• First you should uninstall any software that you do not use.
• Second if you have processes still trying to load at startup even though you have uninstalled them. You can simple use HijackThis to easily remove the startup. That way you will not have to manually edit the registry.
• Third for software you do not want to uninstall but you don't want it to load at startup, look in the program for an option not to load when Windows starts and disable it this way. If you cannot find an option like that you have two possible actions:
  • if you never want it to load at startup, use HJT to permanently remove the startup.
  • if you sometimes want it to load at startup, use a program like Startup CPL to enable or disable as you see fit.

I will fix some of these unnecessary startups for you in the below procedure which will help significantly. Other items you need to take care of. Note that McAfee is a major cause for slow startup.

Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_04

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) 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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

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.

Now download The Avenger by Swandog46, and save it to your Desktop.

• Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
• Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
• Check the 'Input script manually' box.
• Click on the magnifying glass icon.
• Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it in the box that opens:

• Now click the 'Done' button.
• Click on the traffic light icon and OK the prompt.
• You will be prompted to restart, OK the prompt and your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt

After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment


Now run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Avenger.

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome.

It did not find anything to fix but as I said before, ComboFix did.

Not malware. It is bug caused by how Dell setup your sound card to load at startup. This registry key is not properly setup and causes the system32 folder to open at startup. This bug is even documented in the below link.

http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/startup_applications/7383-leng.html

You can checked for the fix that is mentioned with Dell.


What is in the below folder?
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cvirte

Other than the above suspicious folder, your logs are clean.

 

You're welcome.

1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below

2. If we used ComboFix then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN
   • Now type combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
   • Note: The space between the X and the U, it must be there.
3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
4. If we used SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
5. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
6. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.

9. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
10. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
11. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
