please help!!!

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.

Thank you for taking the time to help me

You are welcome :).

You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a Notepad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

Please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
  • Choose your usual account.

Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".


The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart anyway into normal Windows. A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply along with a new HijackThis log.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.

The rapport:

PS: That clean up helped alot!

Can you please do the following.

Download the attached zip file and unzip fixme.reg. Close all browser windows. Double click the file to run it and when asked if you want to merge with your registry, answer yes.

Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the following, if present:

Marketscore
MyWebSearch
NewDotNet

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

Let's look for, and delete, any program segments (prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the 'problems' we're trying to remove from your PC. To do this, let's:

1) Click "Start | Search", then search for each of these program's base name(s), in all files and folders:

  rlvknlg.exe*

2) Then if any are found in the 'prefetch' folder, delete them.

Look closely, since the 'base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.

Run HiJackThis then:

  1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
  2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

c:\windows\system32\rlvknlg.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\k0k0ghcj.exe
C:\Program Files\Ipwindows\ipwins.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\{8065FB4E-0A64-5129-0507-030416030040}\Update.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

Download LSPFix and unzip to your desktop, then run it. Now, we need to:

  1. check(tick) "I know what i'm doing".
  2. click on (highlight) each occurrence of the following, one at a time: rlls.dll
  3. then click ">>", moving each one, individually, to the 'Remove' pane.
  4. (double-check, and make sure that only the above files are in the 'Remove' pane.)
  5. click "Finish >>"

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

 R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =

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:\Program Files\Ipwindows
C:\Program Files\Common Files\{8065FB4E-0A64-5129-0507-030416030040}

C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1
C:\Program Files\PartyGaming.Net

files...

c:\windows\system32\rlvknlg.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\k0k0ghcj.exe
c:\windows\system32\rlls.dll

-

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.
