trojan? virus? malware !

baschetti · Sep 27, 2007

I have to be quick. My computer keeps switching off. There is no signal suddenly to the screen. it appears dead, but the computer itself still has a light on at the front. And, if I press the start, nothing happens. I have to turn the whole machine off first and then I can turn it on.
Normally it switches off in the middle of a spybot or rededit or grisoft run, but just now it switched off when I was typing this post !!!
Here is a hijack log... can anyone help.... thank you very very much in advance !!

Hi baschetti!
Welcome to Major Geeks!
Please check for overheating before you continue looking for malware. Ask in the hardware or software forums if there is a way to do this when your computer is switching off so quickly.

If possible please try to do the following:
I'm going to post two sets of instructions below. Each will be enclosed in separate Quote boxes. Make sure to complete the first one 100% before moving on to the second one.

STEP 1: Complete this procedure completely including attaching the requested log before doing the second procedure.

Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.

Extract all the files to your Destop. A folder named SmitfraudFix will be created on your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press Enter
This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works. When it is done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please attach that log in your next reply.

Noterocess.exe ( which is used my SmitFraudFIx ) is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user. The below is a link to what process.exe is.

Click to expand...

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other options until you are asked to do so!
ATTACH THE FIRST LOG NOW BEFORE CONTINUING OR YOU WILL OVERWRITE IT!!!! And then immediately continue on to the below steps.

STEP 2: PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. Ask any questions that you may have before starting.

Please print out or copy these instructions to Notepad as the internet will not be (while in Safe Mode) available to you at certain points of the removal process. Make sure to work through all the Steps in the exact order in which they are listed below. Again, if there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before moving on with the fixes.

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode : Starting your computer in Safe mode

Open the SmitfraudFix Folder of your Desktop, then double-click smitfraudfix.cmd file to start the tool.

Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press Enter.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?" answer Yes by typing Y and hit Enter.

The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. If it is infected and a clean version is found, you will be prompted to replace the infected wininet.dll with the clean file. Answer Yes to the question "Replace infected file ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.
Click to expand...

A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process, if you computer does not restart automatically please do it yourself manually. BUT Reboot in Safe Mode.

The tool will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed.

Now reboot into normal mode and attach this new rapport.txt log here.
Now attach new logs from:

* GetRunKey
* ShowNew
* HJT ---> Properly downloaded and renamed as per the Read and Run First sticky

How are things working now?

I opened smitfraudfix and selected option two.
The first time I did it, as soon as I hit the "y" the computer switched off. I thn turned it completely off, went back in, in safe mode, run the program again and it worked.
Here is the NEW rapport log :

Im not sure what the last part of your post means "*get run key and *shownew etc... what is that?

baschetti · Sep 27, 2007

After posting, I switched the computer off, turned it on again in normal mode, run "spybot" and the computer "switched off". When I say switched off, I mean that everything sounds as if it goes dead. There is no more signal to the screen, but, the computer itself is still "on" as the light in the front indicates. I cant open the drive, can turn it on or off, so I have to turn it of with the switch at the back.

TimW · Sep 27, 2007

I suspect that this is not malware but rather a failing power supply.
Do you have access to one that you can try?

baschetti · Sep 27, 2007

Thanks again very much for the help.

I assume when you say it is the power supply you think my logs look clean.

I dont have another to build in, but I will check the connections, and tomorrow I will try to find one to test

thanks again !

TimW · Sep 27, 2007

Try another power supply ...then if all is well...cool.
If you still have some issues ...do the Read and Run First sticky ...your "logs" are only the hjt one and it is not properly installed or renamed ....and we would need the other logs from the read and run to be able to see what else might be going on malware wise.

But again, this does sound like a hardware issue....so let us know if a replacement ps does the trick.

baschetti · Sep 28, 2007

I was dubious about it being just a hardware problem because it shut down 90% of the time when running spybot or grisoft or regedit... but, I hoovered my computer! And I mean inside ! It was full of dust. I cleaned the cooler and then run grisoft again, and it ran the whole way through ! So I guess you were right.
If it shutsdown again, the next stpe is the alternative power source.

Thanks a million.
I think the people who work these boards deserve a medal. You do so much tireless work for others, who are mostly computer illiterate. I think your very patient, and very helpful, and the world is a better place because of it !
Keep up the good work !

Ah...late spring cleaning...

Hope all is well and your welcome!
