hi Mikey81748,

this should take care of you:

------------------------------------

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.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press Enter

it will scan your computer, looking for certain files.
when done it will create a log named: rapport.txt on your C: drive
-------------------------
the clean part of the fix should be run in SAFE MODE

Reboot your computer in Safe Mode.
during a computer restart tap the f8 key. chose the first option safe mode
once in safe mode:

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.

The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. If a clean version is found, you will be prompted to replace wininet.dll. Answer Yes to the question "Replace infected file ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.

A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process, if you computer does not restart automatically please do it yourself manually. Reboot in Safe Mode.

The tool 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.

you can post both logs from the smitfraudFix in next reply.

hi Mikey81748,

ok good, thanks for the info.

look in add/remove programs panel and uninstall if present:
Need2Find

and this which isnt a recommended spyware scanner to have:
SpyHunter.exe

after the uninstall reboot computer once.
---------------------
next:
download and run vundofix.exe:

http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4

* Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
* Click the Scan for Vundo button.
* Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
* You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
* Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
* When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
* Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.
---------------------------
also download, install,update and run one of these, not both:
superantispyware:
http://www.superantispyware.com/
or
AVG antispyware
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5
----------------------------
after the above please post the vundoFix txt and a new hjt log.
