Ok, I had a couple problems when I was going through your instructions:

1) When I ran HJT and checked "O20 - AppInit_DLLs: c:\winnt\system32\vtssqnl.dll" to be fixed, i ran into the same error as before.
2) I still couldn't delete c:\winnt\system32\vtssqnl.dll because it was "in use by windows"
3) In ATF, I couldn't click off the box for "Prefetch" because it was "disenabled."
4) For some reason, AVG would mot run in same mode, despite an attempt to re-install it. I ran it in normal mode.

Ok, one more thing that may be relevant: In between when I started having pop-up problems and posted on this forum, it was recommended to me that I update my Java to the newest version. I downloaded and installed "jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-iftw," but got a message saying that it wasn't compatible with my computer. So, have no idea how that is effecting any of this (I completely removed my old version Java before installing the new one).

Again, thanks for your help,

1) When I ran HJT and checked "O20 - AppInit_DLLs: c:\winnt\system32\vtssqnl.dll" to be fixed, i ran into the same error as before.
2) I still couldn't delete c:\winnt\system32\vtssqnl.dll because it was "in use by windows"
AVG found and quarantined the file (C:\WINNT\system32\vtssqnl.dll -> Trojan.Agent.bi : Cleaned with backup (quarantined).)


3) In ATF, I couldn't click off the box for "Prefetch" because it was "disenabled."
Yes, found out that it's not available in Win2000.



4) For some reason, AVG would mot run in same mode, despite an attempt to re-install it. I ran it in normal mode.
Drats.. they still need to have this safe mode issue fixed.. Anyway, glad you ran it in normal mode. :)


Ok, one more thing that may be relevant: In between when I started having pop-up problems and posted on this forum, it was recommended to me that I update my Java to the newest version. I downloaded and installed "jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-iftw," but got a message saying that it wasn't compatible with my computer. So, have no idea how that is effecting any of this (I completely removed my old version Java before installing the new one).
When updating Java it's always recommended to remove old version(s) first and after that install the latest one.


Delete c:\Vundofix Backups folder.

The program is available for download here (http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10319876.html?tag=lst-0-1)
Download SpywareBlaster
Spyware blaster is a program that stops known malicious activex controls from installing on your computer. It works by changing settings in your registry. It makes
kill bits
in the registry, so that certain activex controls can't install.
If you don't know what activex controls are, see here (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/ActiveX_control.html)
You can download SpywareBlaster here here (http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=2859&file=11&evp=61b0e8ad41924a03c37615f4682b4cef)

Download iespyad
It puts many bad webpages on your restricted zones list. This means that you can still view the
bad
webpages, but the webpages cannot do certain things (such as use javascripts and cookies).
If you need help understanding how it works, there is a tutorial here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial53.html)
Download it here (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/res/ie-spyad.exe)

hosts file:
Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them. In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages. We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages. However, it can slow down certain computers. This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
Download it here (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm). Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial51.html)
If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen) Click run In the dialog box, type services.msc hit enter, then locate dns client Highlight it, then double-click it. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. Click ok



Get Anti Virus Software and keep it updated - Most AVs will update automatically, but if not I would recommend making updating the AV the first job every time the PC is connected to the internet. An AV that is using defs that are seven days old is not going to be much protection. If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out. See here (http://www.freebyte.com/antivirus/#scanners) to choose one

Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For more info, check this (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial60.html) webpage out.
See here (http://www.freebyte.com/antivirus/#firewalls) to choose one



Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Run the spybot and adaware regularly. (Once or twice a week minimum.)
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.


Stand up and be Counted.

NOW is the time you can start to hit back at the people who infected you.
http://images.malwarecomplaints.info/logo/MWC-logoplus4.gif (http://www.malwarecomplaints.info)
Please take the time to go and complain - that forum has a topic for your infection which is Vundo please post as a reply, you do not need to register to do so (but you can if you wish). It will also have a list of other places you can go to to register your complaint, depending on the country you are resident in. Please read the topics and complain, it is only with such complaints to goverment or government agances that something will get done.

Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade

Ugh - I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm still getting pop-ups. I just ran spybot search and destroy and it indicates that I still have SmitFraud-C.Coreservice on my computer.

When I'm using Mozilla, there's virtually no problem, but if I use IE I'm immediately flooded. Do you have any idea what the problem is?

Oh, I should also mention that the spybot program freezes when I attempt to fix the checked files

Just for the record, here's a new HJT log:

Ok - I just cut that report off once it reached the "Uninstall List" because it was too long to include. Let me know if you need info from it.

[Blade81]

Save text below as fix.reg on Notepad (save it as all files (*.*)) on the Desktop.


REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\core]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\core]



It should look like this -> http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/images/reg.gif

Doubleclick fix.reg, press Yes and ok.

(In case you are unsure how to create a reg file, take a look here (http://www.nellie2.co.uk/file.htm#How_to_Make_a_.Reg_File_) with screenshots.)


Please download the Killbox (http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.zip) © Option^Explicit.
Unzip it to the desktop but do NOT run it yet.

Copy the text to a Notepad file and save it to your desktop! We will need the file later.

Then please reboot into Safe Mode by restarting your computer and pressing F8 as your computer is booting up. Then select the Safe Mode option.

Once in Safe Mode, please run Killbox.

Select "Delete on Reboot".

Open the text file with these instructions in it, and copy the file names below to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing Control-C:

C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk
C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\core.sys

Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose "Paste from Clipboard".

Click the red-and-white "Delete File" button. Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click "No" at the Pending Operations prompt.

If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually. Rescan with Spybot after that.

If you receive a message such as: "Component 'MsComCtl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." when trying to run TheKillbox, click here (http://www.eudaemonia.me.uk/downloads/Files/missingfilesetup.exe) to download and run missingfilesetup.exe. Then try TheKillbox again..

[cfunderburg]

I followed the instructions, but Smitfraud-C.Coreservice was still there when I ran Spybot S&D after it all.

I couldn't figure out which program to use to unzip Killbox from the link you provided, so I downloaded it directly from Killbox.net. I went through the process once and when it didn't work, I downloaded the Beta version of Killbox from Killbox.net.

Also, when I ran Killbox in safemode the first time, I didn't receive any "Pending Operations" prompt.

The second time I ran it, I received a prompt about something to the effect of "Pending Operations... by outside source" to which I could only click "Ok" (not "yes" or "no."). Also the second time I ran it, the computer did not reboot itself.

Please let me know if there is anything further I can do.

Also, I mentioned it briefly before - but I'm not sure if it matters - I have no working version of Java on my computer and I haven't installed all of the most updated service packs for windows. I have no idea if that will effect anything, but I just wanted to make sure you knew that my computer is pretty old and I certainly haven't kept up with updates.



I have one other semi-related question that should have a simple "yes" or "no" answer: is it safe to copy some files off the c: drive onto an external Lacie drive without any risk of infection to the external drive whatsoever?

Here's the reason I ask: I have a Lacie external drive that I haven't had hooked up for a week or two (since before I started having this trojan horse problem) and this drive has some very important, irreproducible stuff on it (a bunch digitized DV footage that I've been cutting with Avid). However, all of the Avid media/program files required to make use of this external drive are on my C: drive (with the virus). I don't want to run any risk at all of infecting that external drive with a virus, but I very much want to make sure that the stuff on it usable if this smitfraud virus ends up being a total disaster for the c: drive. Essentially, I'd love it if I could make the external drive stand alone and hook it up to another computer if need be. I'm sorry if that's too unrelated, it would just reduce my level of stress immeasurably to know that I could do that - regardless of what happens with the smitfraud.


again, thanks for all your help...

[cfunderburg]

also, just now re-reading the "how to make a reg file" instructions - it says that I need to "leave a blank line after the text" for it to work - which I did the first time through, but forgot to do that the second time through.

Again, not sure what info will be helpful to you, but I just want to keep you informed.

[Blade81]

Hi


1. Download this file -
combofix.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/combofix.exe)
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your
next reply

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause
it to stall


I have one other semi-related question that should have a simple "yes" or "no" answer: is it safe to copy some files off the c: drive onto an external Lacie drive without any risk of infection to the external drive whatsoever?
It's safe unless you're going to copy system files.

[cfunderburg]

When I tried to follow the combofix link just now, I got a "404 Not Found The requested URL '/sUBs/combofix.exe' was not found on this server."

[cfunderburg]

ok - I got combofix to download.

Here's the log (it says it deleted the stuff we were targeting with killbox...):
