Hello all,
I'm new and need help. Did some research on the HJT scanner but am a little nervous about using considering everything I've read on it tells me novice users are advised against self healing with HJT. Sorry to start intro with a problem - my laptop is riddled with Trojans and just recently has been taken over by something new. I cannot log on to internet without being dragged to an anti-virus site that demands I download their software to fix my virus problem. Without even logging on, I get pop-ups that tells me I have been attacked and need to download specific anti-virus. I just need to clean my system out but am afraid of doing some permanent damage. I've removed all important data from my hard drive (pictures, letters, etc.), but lack the knowledge in dealing with HJT or other type remedies. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Glad to have you with us! Please post your question in the Virus part of this forum. They'll be able to address the hi-jack log you'll be doing. Up front you need to scan with AVG & spybot search, destroy which are both free.

As zandiago has said, download HijackThis from here. Download it to your desktop and NOT a temporary folder.
Start HJT & press the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. When the scan is finished a window will pop up giving you the option of where to save it. Save it to desktop where it is easy to access. Open the log file and copy the entire contents of the file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is necessary for the running of your system.

Thank you for your quick reply. As per your instructions:

Don't seem to have problem of pop-ups demanding I download anti-virus software anymore. And although I can't auto set my homepage, atleast it doesn't auto default to that suspect anti-virus homepage. Does this mean my computer is fixed or is there something lurking in wait? I live-updated Symantec and Windows just in case. Is there something else I need to do next? You've been such a big help so far - Please advise.

Can you please do the following.


===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

folders...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\375013
C:\Program Files\NetProject

files...

C:\361101032252060718.exe
C:\361101032252090593.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

Note : process.exe 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.

As requested, ran HJT, Fix-check and ran SmitfraudFix. Quarantine log:
