Yep, I've got it. And the Exploit-Byte Verify Trojan.

Here is my HJ log.

Useful follow-ups to 's log and ’s suggestions:

Run the cleanup tools that named, but do them in a controlled order and capture their reports. Boot into Safe Mode with Networking (press F8 at boot), run the removers, then fully update and run a trusted on-demand scanner (Malwarebytes or equivalent) before returning to normal mode. Save and paste the textual reports from each tool so responders can see what was removed or left behind.

After the cleaners run, check and repair the network/DNS and persistence points that many fake-AV/DNS-hijack infections leave behind. From an elevated prompt run:

ipconfig /all
ipconfig /flushdns

Inspect the adapter IPv4/DNS settings in Network Connections (set to obtain DNS automatically or use a known-good public DNS). Open the hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with Notepad and remove any unfamiliar entries. Also log into the router and verify/reset its DNS settings and admin password — malware sometimes changes router DNS.

Use Autoruns (Sysinternals) to examine services, scheduled tasks and startup items for entries pointing to nonstandard locations or missing files; do not delete blindly. Run dedicated rootkit checks (TDSSKiller, GMER or a rescue-boot scanner) if anything looks blocked, hidden, or reappears after reboot. Disable System Restore while cleaning, delete old restore points, and re-enable after a confirmed clean state.

If credentials or banking sites were used from the infected PC, assume compromise: change passwords from a known-clean device and contact financial institutions if needed. If multiple services remain broken, or a rootkit persists, a full reinstall is the safest route after backing up only personal data (not executables). Post the fix reports and any new HijackThis/Autoruns output for targeted help.

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:

http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/Fixwareout.exe


Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.
Once the desktop loads post the text that will open (report.txt).

==

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.
