503776 2006-12-02 09:09:00 Hi all, I've just been infected (the virus kind!). I let my antivirus laps, I know a dumb thing to do. Now I have two icon and programs that have appeared, both telling me that I'm infected and need to download there programs. Do I trust them? The icons appear in the right side of the lower toolbar, one is a round red disk with a white ! mark the other is a yellow triangle that changes to a grey "mine". I ran a new scan with AVG and AdAware but they are still there. Any help would be gratefuly appreciated. 4Lowie (10869)
503777 2006-12-02 09:27:00 system restore back to when you hadnt installed them. (think this is the only way, worked for me) jesse_jax (9283)
503778 2006-12-02 10:40:00 Does sound like a Smitfraud variant.

Even if it isn't, it won't do any harm, so follow the instructions at this site, under the heading "Removal Instructions" (a little way down the page)

That might work for Smitfraud but it doesn't for variants.
Spybot will pick it up and remove most of it.
Then you need to see which program it wants you to download - then google it.

For instance one variant:
Find the Trojan file name

Use regedit

Navigate to the following subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\win[THREE RANDOM CHARACTERS]32

Take note of the file name listed in the above subkey. This is the Trojan file name. Delete this with Hijackthis Misc Tools - Delete on reboot. This stops it recreating itself, then Spybot and Hijackthi scan will remove the rest of it.

The only tricky part is each variant is slightly different. You need to find that file first. And that particular registry location is not the same fofr all of them.

503781 2006-12-03 01:03:00 Download HijackThis ( . cyberanswers . org/forum/uploads/HijackThis1991 . exe" target="_blank">www . cyberanswers . org) . It will create a directory folder for you in C\Program files . Rename HijackThis . exe to Analyse . exe ?

Rightclick Hijackthis . exe and choose rename .

Then reboot and after reboot, doubleclick Analyse . exe and run a scan and save the log file . Post the log it creates in your next reply Do not fix anything since most of them listed there are harmless (some are system required) . This program will help determine what,if any, spyware/malware is on your computer .

503782 2006-12-03 04:43:00 Sorry Pctek, but I beg to differ on your assumption.

There hasn't been a variant that it hasn't cleaned up that I have come across as a Tech. Even some which Spybot couldn't touch. The posting may be old, but the Smitfraud file you are requested to download is kept up to date.

There has. I had one a couple of weeks ago.
Spybot found some, Hijackthis also, Hijackthis was useful for deleting the main file once I found it.

Smitfraud did not help in this particular case - even though Spybot was calling it a Smitfraud type.

503784 2006-12-03 07:00:00 Thanks for the help, clear both of the icons from the toolbar but I think there is still something happening in the back ground. Another window just opened but I closed it before having a better look! Also my AVG is picking up a Trogan now and then. So I'll do some more looking and no dout have some more questions. 4Lowie (10869)
