Smitfraud - please help remove!

[loren70]

Hi,

Spybot has detected Smitfraud on my computer, but it is unable to remove it. The problem seems to be getting worse, as I can no longer boot in normal mode without my computer involuntarily restarting itself after three or four minutes. I can only boot in safe mode.

I've read a bunch of threads on Smitfraud and the solutions seem unique for each individual. That's why I'm posting my specific HijackThis log below.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Loren

Hi loren70

We can definitely help you, but first you need to help us. You are quite behind on your Windows Updates and Patches!!

The first step in this process is to apply Service Pack 1a for Windows XP. Without this update, you're wide open to re-infection, and we're both just wasting our time.
Click here to get WinXP SP1a: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0136e5f8-1684-4202-b2d0-c6a43430f12a&DisplayLang=en)

Apply the update, reboot, then go to Windows Update and install all the Critical Updates (Note: Except for WinXP SP2)
Click here for Windows Update: http://www.windowsupdate.com/ (http://www.windowsupdate.com/)

After installing all the Patches and updates, reboot, then post a fresh Hijack This log.
