smitfraud-c.coreservices

**Carruthers9** · 2008-11-10, 19:25

I am having trouble getting rid of a virus on my computer. It is called smitfraud-c.coreservices and also under c:\windows\system32. I think i have been able to delete most of the files but none of my virus programs seem to be able to delete c:\windows\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk.

The program was bringing up messages saying that i needed to download a virus program and that someone was trying to break into my computer (they greatly resembled the real windows). Those pop ups have stopped but i know that the one file has not been deleted. I am also having internet explorer pop-ups now and i dont even use explorer, i use mozilla.

I was reading in the forum someone else who had the same problems so i followed the advice on that one but it didnt work for me. So here is my combofix log.

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance) http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

Make sure you read and follow the directions, anything else will slow the process and waste both of our time. I suggest you keep this computer offline except when troubleshooting, the junk may download more. If you have any tool I use, delete it and download it new from the link I provide. Read and follow the directions carefully, the tools will not work unless you do.
The junk can be tough to remove, so do not expect fast or easy.

Posting additional comments or logs before a volunteer responds, can push you back instead of forward, because your thread ends up with a newer date. Also, helpers may think you are already being assisted because of the post count.

ComboFix is not a general purpose cleaning tool, please do not use this tool without supervision.

If your helper detects the presence of such programs on your computer he/she will ask you to remove them. Help will be withdrawn should you not agree to their removal.
LimeWire <<< uninstall all p2p program on the computer.

How about if you read the directions and post the required HijackThis log and I will be glad to take a look.

Download Trend Micro Hijack This™ to your Desktop
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com...HJTInstall.exe
Doubleclick the HJTInstall.exe to start it.
By default it will install HijackThis in the Program Files\Trendmicro folder and create a desktop shortcut.
HijackThis will open after install. Press the Scan button below.
This will start the scan and open a log.
Copy and paste the contents of the log in your next reply.

Thanks

Before I proceed, I run AVG 8 free, is this AVG7 that you are running a paid version or is it just out of date?

**Carruthers9** · 2008-11-14, 00:03

I run the AVG free edition. (program version 7.5.549) It doesn't say AVG 8 anywhere but it is the free edition.

**pskelley** · 2008-11-14, 01:49

I am sure you will find that version is expired and I will post the information to update to AVG 8 free as soon as we clean this malware, I am helping a lot of folks, so please make sure I do this. Make sure you follow these instructions in the numbered order.

1) File Sharing, otherwise known as Peer To Peer. (P2P)
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=282

If your helper detects the presence of such programs on your computer he/she will ask you to remove them. Help will be withdrawn should you not agree to their removal.

Ares, LimeWire <<< uninstall these programs and any other p2p programs installed on the computer.

2) We need first to disable TeaTimer that it doesn't interfere with fixes. You can re-enable it when you're clean again:
* Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
* If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
* On the left hand side, Click on Tools
* Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
* Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
* Restart your computer.
(leave TT disabled until we finish)

3) http://downloads.subratam.org/ResetTeaTimer.bat <<< right click the link and choose "Save target as...
Download ResetTeaTimer.bat to the Desktop
Double click ResetTeaTimer.bat
to remove all entries set by TeaTimer (and preventing TeaTimer to restore them upon reactivation).

4) Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/public-beta/ATF-Cleaner.exe
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

5) Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:

Code:

Driver::
uagp355

File::
c:\windows\system32\drivers\uagp355.sys
c:\windows\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk
E:\setup.exe

Registry::
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{c498abd2-0858-11da-8053-806d6172696f}]

Save this as CFScript

Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe.

This will start ComboFix again. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply together with a new HijackThis log. (wait until you finish to post the logs)

6) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

http://www.f-secure.com/sw-desc/look2me.shtml <<< see this

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

7) Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

*Cleaning Prefetch may result in a few slow starts until the folder is repopulated:
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/art...efetch-XP.html

8) Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your Desktop
http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform FULL SCAN, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt
* Please post the log from CFScript, the log from MBAM, the uninstall list and a new HJT log ran after the other tools.

9) Post also an uninstall log:
Open Hijackthis.
Click the "Open the Misc Tools" section Button.
Click the "Open Uninstall Manager" Button.
Click the "Save list..." Button.
Save it to your desktop. Copy and paste the contents into your reply.

Thanks
