My computer has been acting strange lately, to the point were its almost unusable, so far I have removed the Mirar toolbar, five internet Hijackers, and some adware but it still acts the same way, I took a logfile with hijackthis, please tell me if I have to delete anything.

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.
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/proc...processutil.htm


You will have to disable Spybot's Teatimer before we begin, as it will interfere with the fix. To do this can you start Spybot and go to the Mode button and select Advanced. Go to Tools > Resident and uncheck the box next to Tea-Timer. Make sure that the icon in the system tray is no longer there. If it is, just right click on it and select "Exit".
Download ResetTeaTimer.bat.
Double click ResetTeaTimer.bat to remove all entries set by TeaTimer.
Do not forget to re-enable teatimer when we are done .
If teatimer gives you a warning afterwards that some changes were made, allow this instead of blocking it.

Can you disable Windows Defender as it may interfere with the removal process. Please leave it disabled until your PC has been given the all clear.
Open Windows Defender
Click Tools
Click General Settings
Scroll down to Real Time Protection Options
Uncheck Turn on Real Time Protection (recommended)
After you uncheck this, click on the Save button
Close Windows Defender

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.

There is more for you to do after this to clear up the problem so please try and repost as soon as possible....... I had this problem a few months ago

Thanks for your help, I did what you said and here's the logs:

I also have a GMER log if you want to see it.

First, go to start/run msconfig and make it so all of your startup are enabled and all of your services areenabled and restart the computer


1. Download this file from one of the following links :

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/combofix.exe

2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply, along with a new hijackthis log.

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Here's the logs:

Kaspersky also kept flagging the desktop shortcut of combofix as infected with heur.invader, is this a false positive? I quarantined it just in case.

first off all what happened to your mcafee???

I actually already have Spybot. I downloaded CCleaner like you said and am awaiting further instructions from you. I uninstalled Mcaffee since I can only have 1 antivirus and Kaspersky seems to work better. What about heur.invader?
Thanks for all your help so far.

go to start/run and type in msconfig and go to services and enable all and go to startup and enable all and then restart and post a new hjt log and rescan with spybot and ccleaner

You need to do the second part of smitfraud fix first.

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.

Thanks crunchie, but I already did that when overwhelmed told me to.

Then you need to post the log that shows that info. You cut off the log, thats why I missed it :).

Thanks crunchie, but I already did that when overwhelmed told me to.

you know what now that i looked at your smitfraud log i think u do need to re do the smitfraud so follow what crunchie posted and redo the smitfraud and then we will finish what i was having you do

I just redid smitfraudfix, I also found with No-Adware a Trojan called Trojan.PWS.Tabs, after I deleted it, I looked it up and found out it was a password stealing trojan, I think I have a Rootkit cause every other day I usually find some kind of malware on my comp{I don't open spam, although I get LOADS of it, I usually don't download anything, and don't go to porn, gambling, or chat sites.} anyway here's the new smitfraudfix log that it gave me after it cleaned everything:
Note: The original file has TONS of spaces in-between the names of the websites, if you want to see the original file, I still have it.

Download the HostsXpert.
Run it and press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program.
Note that if you have a custom host file, this will remove it.

I downloaded both programs and anti-rootkit came up clean, I did what you said with the Hostxpert and it worked and deleted all the bad host entries, Spybot came up clean also and I used CCleaner. Now I am getting pop-ups that say this page contains unsafe infomation, when I am not even on any website.

by any chance do u still use mcafee??? because i see the missing files at the bottom of your log. if you do not use this than there is a removal tool i can give you the link for and if you still wish to use mcafee i suggest using the removal tool and reinstalling it

Which one's better? Mcafee or Kaspersky?

i use mcafee because i have comcast and it comes free and i have never used kaspersky but i prefer mcafee because i have never had a problem with it

Kaspersky is the better, hands down. McAfee is a resource hog.

I just ran the Mcafee remover now, here's a new log:
