Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c

Please do not post requests for help in a thread that belongs to someone else. Also read the announcement and sticky threads. HJT logs should only be posted when requested. HJT should also be run in normal boot mode. You posted in the following thread: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=60473

I'm moving you to your own thread. Please follow the steps below:

- Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal 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:

- Download HijackThis 1.99.1

- Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

- Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

- Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

- Run HijackThis and save your log file.

- Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

 

You're welcome! But if you check around in the forum threads you would see I have posted a quick and easy registry patch to take care of those entries you mentioned. Also the wp.bmp and wp.exe files are covered too. For one example (there are many more) see:

http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=61368

You do not want to change the registry values to 0, you do not even want them in your registry.

We have fixed many of these already.

 

Please post in your own thread. This thread is for wrking Allieb4's problem. And also note those are generic cleaning steps. They are not steps to fix Smitfraud. There are several dozen threads here that have specific steps for cleaning Smitfraud. Part of which includes deleting c:\wp.exe and c:\w.bmp and a registry patch as I indicated

 

We need HijackThis logs to be posted from normal boot mode as indicated in the READ ME FIRST and in the HijackThis tutorial.

Where did you download your CWShredder from and how did you install it? I have never seen CWShredder installed as a service and there is no reason for it to be installed that way. In your HJT log it looks like.

O23 - Service: CWShredder Service - InterMute, Inc. - C:\Spyware Tools\CWShredder\cwshredder.exe

Please double check Properties and Version info on cwshredder.exe to make sure it is really from Intermute.

 

You have a lot of problems that we need to work on. We are going to be taking this slowly. So do not expect everything to be fixed all at once. I need some more info from an additional scanning tool I will post at the end of this message.

If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

Open Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs look for the below programs and uninstall them if found:
Search Maid
Security IGuard
Virtual Maid

Now exit Add/Remove Programs.

Note in the next step you may not find many of these processes running (I needed a log from normal boot mode so I just guessing what could be running).
Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\dnsping.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\mptsgsvc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System\MSMSGSVC.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\urpo.exe
C:\WINDOWS\msxmidi.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\barint.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\sound64.exe

C:\Windows\System32\ole32vbs.exe
C:\Windows\system32\msole32.exe
C:\wp.exe
C:\bsw.exe
C:\Windows\popuper.exe


After killing all the above processes, click "Back".
Then please click "Scan" 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:

If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST). Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.

Now reboot in normal mode and continue with the below.

Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad. Then click File and then Save As. Change the Save as Type to All Files. Name the file fixwp.reg and then click save. (make sure you save it somewhere you can find it. Saving it to your Desktop may make that easy.) Double-click on the fixwp.reg file on your desktop (or locate it with Windows Explorer and double click on it if not saved to the Desktop) and when it prompts to add to the registry say yes.

Now please download HOSTER and then follow the below steps.

• Unzip Hoster to a convenient folder such as C:\Hoster

• Run Hoster.exe, click Restore Original Hosts and then click OK.
• Click the X to exit the program.

Download and the below file to your computer where you can find it.

RemV3.Zip

Extract all the files to a folder (make it a folder for only these tools).
Then boot into safe mode and run the remv3.bat file.

Now reboot and you must not reboot again until you hear from me because the problem DLL will mutate.

Now post a new HJT log (from normal boot mode).
