Hello all. I picked up this virus about a week ago and I'm unable to wipe it out. I've used Ad-aware, spybot, Windows Defender, etc in normal and safe modes. I've gotten rid of some stuff, but my homepage is still hijacked to sysnetsecurity.com and I get random pop-ups, virus alerts from the toolbar, and the browser window will close. Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Full Version: Hijacked Browser and Maybe More
SpywareQuake and SpyFalcon belong to the Smitfraud family of desktop hijackers that pop up over the desktop or gives an alert from the taskbar near the clock and displays a warning message that your computer is infected with spyware and telling you to buy/download/install their program. These warnings are fake and are a goad to have you buy the commercial version of this software. This version is slightly different than the previous variants (SpywareStrike, SpyAxe,etc.) in that the alerts do not look like Windows Security alerts but are rather a square that appears from your taskbar. An example of this alert is below:
Other Smitfraud variants include:
Security IGuard
Virtual Maid
Search Maid
AntiVirusGold
PSGuard
RazeSpyware
SpyAxe
SpySheriff
SpywareStrike
WinHound
SpywareQuake/SpyFalcon/Smitfraud Removal
Note: These instructions are only for Windows 2000, XP Home, XP Pro, & 2003.
The following steps may not clean all of it, but should be a good start and will restore the desktop to default at least so you can proceed with complete removal using various tools.
1. Print out or save to notepad these instructions as we will need to do most steps offline and in SAFE MODE (so you won't have this window open to see the instruction from)
2. Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.
http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip
Extract all the files to your Destop. A folder named SmitfraudFix will be created on your Desktop.
3. Windows 2000/XP/2003 (includes Ewido)
Download, install, and update Ewido AntiMalware (get the free trial version)
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
a. Install Ewido AntiMalware
b. Launch Ewido, there should be a big yellowE icon on your desktop, double-click it.
c. The program will prompt you to update click the OK button
d. The program will now go to the main screen
e. On the left hand side of the main screen click on Update
f. Click on Start. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
g. Do not scan yet. We'll do that later in SAFE MODE
4. 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. When it is done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.
5. Open the SmitfraudFix Folder, then double-click smitfraudfix.cmd file to start the tool.
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press Enter.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?" answer Yes by typing Y and hit Enter.

LoPhatPhuud,
Thanks for the help. Sorry for the delayed response, I was away for a week and finally got a couple of hours to work on cleaning up my machine. Here are the reports you asked for. So far it looks like my homepage is no longer hijacked and I'm not getting any popups, however the scan by Panda Active Scan seems to have found a virus and some spyware. If you think there is more I need to do to clear this up, please let me know.
Thanks.

Thanks for the help. Sorry for the delayed response, I was away for a week and finally got a couple of hours to work on cleaning up my machine. Here are the reports you asked for. So far it looks like my homepage is no longer hijacked and I'm not getting any popups, however the scan by Panda Active Scan seems to have found a virus and some spyware. If you think there is more I need to do to clear this up, please let me know.
Thanks.

Now, unless there are still issues not reflected in your log(s), your system is clean and we are finished. Here are some simple steps you can take to reduce the chance of infection in the future.
1. Visit Windows Update:
Make sure that you have all the Critical Updates recommended for your operating system and Internet Explorer. This includes SP1 and SP2 if you use Windows XP. The first defense against infection is a properly patched Operating System.
a. Windows Update: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
If you have Word, Excel, Outlook or other Office programs installed. Consider using Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update. See the FAQ page here for more information: http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdat...t.aspx?ln=en-us
Also, download and install Microsoft Baseline Analyzer.(Note that MBSA is only for Win 2000 SP3 or later and Office XP or later) When run, it will check system for security exposures, including missing updates. I suggest running it weekly. You can obtain more information here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...s/mbsahome.mspx
2. Check your Java Runtime version. (Current=1.5.0_07-b03, aka Version 5.0, Update 7)
You can check the current version of the Java Runtime Modules installed by opening the Java Control Panel and selecting 'About' from the 'General' tab.
The current version can be downloaded from Sun here: http://www.java.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Note: Be sure to remove all prior versions using Add/Remove Programs before you install the new one. Remember to reboot after removal.
3. Adjust your security settings for ActiveX:
Select Internet Options from the Control Panels, or from Internet Explorer (Tools -> Internet Options)
Press 'default level', then OK
Now press "Custom Level."
In the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section set these options:
'Download signed ActiveX controls' - Prompt
'Download unsigned ActiveX controls' - Disable
'Initialize and script ActiveX controls not maked as safe'- Disable
All other options accept the default
For Windows XP2 SP2 users, check this link for additional steps you can take to secure Internet Explorer: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...xp/iesecxp.mspx
Also,for Sp2 SP2 and IE users, in IE, Tools -> Manage Add-ons will give you a list of all BHO's, Extensions, and ActiveX modules installed on your computer. You can update, enable or disable them.
4. Download and install the following free programs
a. SpywareBlaster (ActiveX protection): http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
b. IE/Spyad (Malicious Site protection): http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm#IESPYAD
You may want to consider also installing ZonedOut (http://www.funkytoad.com/zonedout.htm) to handle the Restricted Site List.
c. Hoster (HOSTS file manager): http://www.funkytoad.com/hoster.htm
5. Install Spyware Detection and Removal Programs:
You may also want to consider installing one (or more) of the following:
a. Windows Defender: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s...re/default.mspx
NOTE: Windows Defender only runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 2003.
b. Spybot S&D: http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download
c. AdAware Personal: http://www.lavasoft.de/
Use these programs to regularly scan your system for and remove many forms of spyware/malware. I recommend a combination of Microsoft Spyware and TeaTimer from Spybot S&D.
If you use, or plan on using, additional spyware/malware detection and/or removal programs, please check Items 8 and 9.
6. Install A Toolbar to Detect Phishes
Phishing is prevalent and on the rise. Make sure the site you go to is real. Your ISP may offer a toolbar to warn you of fake sites or you can choose one of the following
a. Spoofstick Toolbar
b. Netcraft Toolbar
c. PhishGuard
7. Reset System Restore
If you are using Windows ME or Windows XP, please reset your System Restore. See Windows help for information.
8. Clean Temporary Files and Folders
Download and install the disk cleanup utility called Cleanup! from here:
http://cleanup.stevengould.org/
Cleanup! will get rid of any malware which may be hiding in your temp folders (a common hiding place). You may also regain a massive amount of disk space.
Here is a tutorial which describes its usage:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial93.html
Run the disk cleanup utility called Cleanup! that you have already downloaded and installed
Check the custom settings to your liking under options, but be sure to delete temporary files and temporary internet files for all user profiles. Also, cleanout the prefetch folder and the recycle bin.
Then reboot into normal mode to let it clean out the remaining files.
9. Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware
Before using or purchasing any Spyware/Malware protection/removal program, always check the Rogue/Suspect Spyware List. It will save you a lot of grief, as well as money if you are thinking of purchasing. Here is the link: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
10. Anti-Spyware Programs Compared
Want to know just how effective your anti-spyware program is? Wonder how well any of the "rogue" programs listed above work? Check this link for an independent comparison of several anti-spyware programs: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/asw-test-guide.htm
11. Alternate Browser
Consider using an alternate browser as your default. I recommend and use Firefox as my primary browser. It is still necessary to keep Internet Explorer current and protected in order to use Windows Update.
For more information about Spyware, the tools available, and other informative material, including information on how you may have been infected in the first place, please check out this link: http://forum.gladiator-antivirus.com/index...?showtopic=9857
