Hello,
I've followed everything in the thread "Fixes for Specific Infections" but my IE homepage is still popping up with :

This looks like a classic multi-component browser hijack: homepage/toolbars + a rogue autostart process + a popup/service. supplied a useful HJT snapshot; is on the right track with a multi-step cleanup and community tools, and ’s manual approach is a good fallback. The infection will usually require Safe Mode removal, a rootkit check, and careful cleanup of IE helper objects and startup entries rather than a single “one-click” fix.

First-pass actions: make a backup of personal files, disconnect from the network if sensitive accounts are open, then reboot to Safe Mode (F8). Run one up-to-date antimalware scanner (Malwarebytes or equivalent) and a second-opinion scanner (ESET Online Scanner is commonly used). Also run a dedicated rootkit/cleanup utility (Kaspersky’s removal utilities or similar) before making manual changes — these steps reduce reinfection and reveal hidden components. (forums.malwarebytes.com)

Manual checks to follow: reset Internet Explorer to defaults from Internet Options → Advanced → Reset; check IE proxy settings; inspect the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts for suspicious redirects; and use Sysinternals Autoruns to show every Run / RunOnce / BHO / Winlogon notify entry so genuinely unknown items can be disabled and researched. Use Process Explorer and TCPView to identify which process is creating outgoing connections or popup windows before deleting files. Always backup the registry or create a restore point before removing entries. (support.microsoft.com)

If a random-named EXE in System32 or a BHO is present and cannot be removed normally, disable it in Autoruns, delete the file from Safe Mode, re-scan, and then reset IE again. If repeated cleaning fails, migration or a clean OS reinstall is the safest outcome — Windows XP is out of support and insecure on the public internet. After cleanup, update AV, change passwords you used while infected, and monitor for reappearance. (en.wikipedia.org)

Notes: keep logs (scanner and Autoruns) and post them when asking for help — they let helpers identify leftovers without guessing.

Hi, and welcome to DaniWeb. Is see numerous signs of infections, so this will take more than one step :). So please run HJT again, and select Do system scan only. Then check (Tick) these items.

Click Fix Checked.

____________________________________________________

Please download (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.

Post the smitfraudfix log, and a new HJT log.
