Hi, if you have tried scanning your computer using anti-virus and that didn't work then I thing you urgently need to do a system restore.
hi, sounds like the popular smitfraud trojan. Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/smitfraudfix.php 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 for known patterns so please be patient while it works. It will create a file named: c:\rapport.txt stop at this point and post the contents of the c:\rapport.txt. ------------------------------------------ smitfraud can usually come packaged with other "goodies" which the smitfraudfix will not address. i suggest you also get a copy of HJT to provide a wider picture of things. HiJackThis log - Trend Micro HijackThis 2.0.2 http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe * Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop. * Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop. * By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis . * Click on Install. * It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop. * Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis. * Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad. * Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" and Paste the entire contents of the log (no attachments) into your next reply * DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted. * DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what HJT lists will be harmless or even required by your Operating System. post the smitfraud log and the HJT log echoreply
I doubt its smitfraud, thats old and the new windows malicous software removal tool can take care of that. Its sounds like vundo. But i am not totally discrediting that it isnt smitfraud, its not my pc. Your going to need spybot, also a tool called vundofix, which will remove the trojan/worm. They are both very powerful tools. DO you ever get winantispyware advertisements? Keep me updated.
