Hi Malware Gurus,

I am suffering this problem for more than 3 months, totally frustrated now and switched to the safe Mozilla Firefox and Opera browsers.
Months back, Internet Explorer wont open properly so I tried uninstalling it but still the same problems.
Nowadays, when I work in Firefox, all of sudden IE appears in a half-hanged mode, flickering and strange characters appearing. The only option then is to right-click the icon in taskbar and click close. This gets accompanied by heavy whirling of the fan also.

After going thru couple of threads, I downloaded HijackThis and did a scan as below. Can you please help and advise which is the baddie, I just feel like killing it rightaway, just tell me who it is. I am sorry this is a long list, but really appreciate if someone could please help. Thanks!

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\ShoppingReport
c:\program files\spamblockerutility

files...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\msdn_lib.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.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

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!!

So far, I was able to
a) download new version of HijackThis and fix the mentioned list of items
b) delete 2 folders and 1 file in Safe Mode
c) download SmitFraudFix and select option 1
BUT
option 1 showed "Access Denied" couple of times on the blue screen as shown below and closed immediately. So I could not generate the scan text file using SmitFraudFix.
SmitFraudFix v2.242
Access is denied.

Please advise further

Also, I am pasting the scan file after following the mentioned steps (except SmitFraudFix) using HijackThis if this helps.

Are you editing the hijackthis log before you post it? There are several running processes that should be showing up that are not there.

Can you please do the following.


===============

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


O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Try running Smitfraudfix again. Try doing it when logged in as Administrator. If still no luck, boot to safe mode and log in as Administrator and try again.

No, I did not edit the log, pasted as-is.
But Guess what, my internet explorer problem is resolved. I couldnt thank you more for helping me, this had been such a pain in the neck. Since yesterday, ever since I fixed the files that you asked me to, it seems history. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for helping guys like me, its a great relief.

Also, do you know how could I get Admin rights on this computer? This is my office comp but I hardly do any office stuff here.

Thanks a bunch,
a rescued survivor :)

You should be able to get admin rights through user accounts in Control Panel. When you log on in safe mode, you will get the option to log in as administrator.
Glad to help out too :)
