Hi, I also have this error and have run all kinds of virus scans, cleaned my spyware out with adaware and spybot programs. Oh and the windows defender too. I was glad to see help was here for someone infected with this. I cannot change my homepage in IE to anything, it turns back to something else right away and says about:blank in the url location in Internet options. I DL-ed the Hijackthis program and posted the results here. Thank you in advance if anyone can help me.

Go to Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and look for something like "support.com" or "Support Agent" and remove it, it's useless program and it collects information about your computer and to automatically send this information to ISP and to auto update this software via Internet. Open HijackThis, do a system scan only and check these: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [tgcmd] "C:\Program Files\support.com\bin\tgcmd.exe" /server O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NI.UERS_0001_N82M1105] "C:\Documents and Settings\Alfred Esposito\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\8HE76FCD\ErrorSafeScannerInstall[1].exe" -nag /BEFOREINSTALL O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [bb54f406.exe] C:\Documents and Settings\Alfred Esposito\Local Settings\Application Data\bb54f406.exe O4 - Startup: .protected O4 - Global Startup: .protected Close all open windows and click fix cheked. Restart your computer to safe mode http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml In safe mode, delete these files or folders: C:\Program Files\->support.com C:\Documents and Settings\Alfred Esposito\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\8HE76FCD\->ErrorSafeScannerInstall[1].exe C:\Documents and Settings\Alfred Esposito\Local Settings\Application Data\->bb54f406.exe After that, open SmitfraudFix folder and doubleclick the file smitfraudfix.cmd Choose option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and pressing "Enter" in order to remove the infected files. You are asked: "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove your desktop wallpaper and the infected registry keys. The tool checks if wininet.dll file is infected. You might be asked to replace the infected .dll (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter". The tool might have to restart your computer; if it won't do it, restart your computer back to normal mode. A textfile will appear after the cleaning process, copy this file and paste it to here. Tha log is saved to your local diskdrive, usually C:\rapport.txt. Post also a fresh HijackTHis log.
Hi. I have not been able to get far. I deleted the files from highjackthis result except for O4 - Startup: .protected O4 - Global Startup: .protected They are in use and cannot ber deleted. restarted and ran again but they are in use. let me know please. RZ
Jurppis, let me start from the beginning. I looked for support agent or anything support in Control Panel and found none but a Security toolbar, 0.3 mb that I uninstalled. Ran the hijackthis and was able to delete 3 of the 5 you listed. I was not able to delete the 04-startup and 04 global as I stated in earlier post. I then ran safe mode and deleted support.com. I did not find errorsafescannerinstall[1].exe or bb54f406.exe to delete. I then ran the Smitfraud and followed your directions, the log file (rapport)is below. I am able to change the homepage now but want to know if you think all is ok.
