looks like you need smitfraudfix...i'll put it up on my FTP site for download. I'll edit this post with the fix

Ok, I got the file up there...get if here then repost your log to make sure it's cleaned :)

To use:

SEARCH

Extract all to a common folder, and dbl click SmitFraudFix.cmd
Press 1 then hit Enter

CLEAN

Reboot your computer in Safe Mode (before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually)

Double-click smitfraudfix.cmd

Select 2 and hit Enter to delete infect files.

You will be prompted: Do you want to clean the registry ? answer Y (yes) and hit 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): Replace infected file ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter to restore a clean file.

A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

OPTIONAL

If you want to restore all trusted zones to default, use option 3

You will be prompted with Yes or No no, hit Y and Enter

That should take care of that problem (hopefully)


__________________________________________________________________________

Other than that problem, it looks like your company is using Symantec Enterprize - while I personally employ the same program, I also know that just an antivirus/firewall isn't enought to protect my systems from malware. I also use Webroot Enterprise, but there is no need for your company to spend more money than it needs to. If you believe the rest of the staff there will not try and cancel the scans, or - schedule scans for when nobody is around, you could use a free personal spyware/adware detection software. At my house I use Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware SE Personal. Both free.

I did everything you said to do in your message but the problem still persists. Here is the log file from both Smitfraudfix and HJT

Thanks for all the help.

Further Scrutiny of your HJT log, I see

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LogitechVideoRepair] C:\Program Files\Logitech\Video\ISStart.exe

It is apart of your logitec driver/programs, however, it is also spyware. Most of the time it is very low key, and just sends information back to logitec, however, it could be causing a problem

I need to figure out if 195.238.50.254, or 195.238.40.45 is a part of your ISP. Could you open up command prompt (Click the Start Menu, then Run. Type in cmd and press enter) and type this:

tracert 206.155.46.37 and let it go - if it starts showing:

* * * request timed out

hold down the ctrl key and press the C key.

Let me know if the two origional IP addresses (195.238.50.254, or 195.238.40.45) show up in that list somewhere near the beginning 4 or 5.

That is as close as I can get in to noticing any problems with your computer. If that still doesn't help, You can wait for someone else to offer aid.

In the mean time - what are the symptoms of your system? What is it doing to behave like a trojan? Or did symantec sweep tell you it was a trojan?

Those two IP addresses did not come up when I ran the tracert.


All of my problems began when my kid downloaded a program called mediacodec-v4.403

When he installed this program and icon was placed on my taskbar that continuously blinks and says "my system is infected..." Also pop up adds continue to show up when I am not even doing anything.

Since you don't know those IP Address, go ahead and make a backup of your registry, then delete the entry:

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{C1F22200-51CA-4996-A203-1B13B405F6F1}: NameServer = 195.238.50.254,195.238.40.45
I did as much of a search on all the entries/processes I didn't know as I could, and this is the only other thing that looks suspicious to me.

As for the the pop-ups, I had to deal with that on one of the computers here at the office.

Sometimes you may need to run the SmitFraudFix more than once to insure you have cleaned it out completely. Run SmitFraudFix 1 more time, and be sure to do the fix in safe mode.

In the mean time, I will try to grab someone I know has a better knowledgebase than I to take a look at this. As I said - SmitFraudFix was a quick fix for me, I guess I just got lucky with the program.

commented: Awsome post. Ya are indeed learning :) +1

Alrite, let's do 2 things.

First, let's use CCleaner to clean things out.

Begin by downloading CCleaner, and specifically choosing the most recent version.

Then, follow these steps:

1. Close all programs so that you are at your desktop.
2. Double-click on the "My Computer" icon.
3. Select the "Tools" menu and click "Folder Options".
4. After the new window appears select the "View" tab.
5. Place a checkmark in the checkbox labeled "Display the contents of system folders".
6. Under the "Hidden files and folders" section select the radio button labeled "Show hidden files and folders".
7. Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled "Hide file extensions for known file types".
8. Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled "Hide protected operating system files". 9. Press the "Apply" button and then the "OK" button and shutdown My Computer.
10. Now your computer is configured to show all hidden files.

Now, install the program. Open it, and choose the 'Options' tab. Inside, hit the 'Custom' tab, and add the following folders (Note: Not all of these files are on every computer. If one of these isn't present, skip it):

C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\<Every user listed>\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\<Every user listed>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
C:\Documents and Settings\<Every user listed>\Local Settings\History
C:\Documents and Settings\<Every user listed>\Cookies
C:\Windows\Prefetch

After doing this, move back to the 'Cleaner' tab, and inside this, be sure your open to the 'Windows' tab. Inside, check the box labeled 'Custom Files and Folders'.

Next, after following all of these steps, you're ready to scan. Run scans in both the 'Cleaner' and 'Issues'. Note: It might take several scans in each to remove all of the junk.

Now, restart the computer, and run HJT again, posting a new log here.

Also, there's no real need to rerun SmitFraudFix, but we'll verify this with the new log.

Thanks.

Tijay- Incredible job buddy. I like it. :)

I ran CCleaner and all of the pop ups have stopped. Actually they stopped after doing what TiJay told me to do.

The only problem I have now is an annoying icon in my taskbar. It looks like a circular green arrow and it has a flashing red circle/slash sign (like the one on no smoking signs). It also contiously pops up with a message that says "Your computer is infected! Critical system error! System detected virus activities......etc"

When you click on this message it takes you to www.spyfalcon.com website where they try to sell you spyfalcon software. Please help me get rid of this annoyance. I tried deleting it through MSCONFIG---startup tab but have had no luck..


Here is my HJT logfile. Thanks for the help

Hmm alrite, based on the symptoms, ya seem to have a SpyAxe infection. SO, let's run this fix:

Alrite, you're infected with a SpyAxe variant.

Let's begin by downloading
SmitfraudFix. 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, so it will take some time to run. When done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other options until you are asked to do so!


Post # 2 - Clean

Please print out or copy/paste 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 of the steps in the exact order in which they are listed below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask before moving on.

Reboot your computer in Safe Mode.

  • If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
  • Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
  • Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
  • Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
  • Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
  • Login on your usual account.

______________________________

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

If your computer does not restart automatically, do it yourself manually. Reboot in Safe Mode.

The tool will create a log named rapport.txt, located at C:\rapport.txt. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.
______________________________

Now, run CCleaner, scanning only under the 'Cleaner' tab. You might need to run it several times to remove all the junk.
After running it, be sure to empty the Recycle bin.
______________________________

Close ALL open Windows / Programs / Folders. Please start Ewido, and run a full scan.

  • Click on Scanner
  • Click on Settings
    • Under How to scan all boxes should be checked
    • Under Unwanted Software all boxes should be checked
    • Under What to scan select Scan every file
    • Click on Ok
  • Click on Complete System Scan to start the scan process.
  • Let the program scan the machine.

If Ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. When it asks if you want to clean the first file, put a checkmark in the lower left corner of the box that says Perform action on all infections and put a checkmark in the box next to Create encrypted backup, then choose clean and click Ok.

Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save Report.

  • Click Save Report button
  • Save the report to your Desktop

Close Ewido and Reboot in Normal Mode.
______________________________

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #3 - Delete Trusted zone by typing 3 and press Enter.
Answer Yes to the question "Restore Trusted Zone ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.

Note, if you use SpywareBlaster and/or IE-SPYAD, it will be necessary to re-install them. For SpywareBlaster, run the program and re-protect all items. For IE-SPYAD, run the batch file and reinstall the protection.
______________________________

In the return post, include the contents of C:\rapport.txt, the Ewido scan log, and a new HJT log.

Thanks.

commented: Thanks for catching that unregister .dll on that one thread. And just all around great job helping out :). +2

Problem is all cleared up. Thanks for the help. You don't know how much I appreciate it.
Thanks a million!

Heh to be sure its all cleared up, let's post back with C:\rapport.txt, the Ewido scan log, and a new HJT log.

Thanks.
