System scans clean, but Smitfraud-C still trying to edit registry

[DiMono]

Several months ago I scanned my system and got rid of Smitfraud-C. Today I scanned my system again, and found two Smitfraud-C registry keys, and deleted them. Ever since I did that some process has been trying to re-insert {873eb32d-ae1a-4183-89bd-45a77f761be4} keys about once a second to my registry as a BHO. Spybot, AVG and the online Kaspersky scans all come back clean, and I don't see anything obvious in my running processes. Here are my HJT and online Kaspersky log files:

Hello DiMono and welcome to Safer Networking Forums.

My name is km2357 and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Since I am still in training, I have to let experts check the content of my fixes before I post them so please be patient.

I will be giving you a series of instructions that need to be followed in the order in which I give them to you.

If for any reason you do not understand an instruction or are just unsure then please do not guess, simply post back with your questions/concerns and we will go through it again.

Please do not start another thread or topic, I will assist you at this thread until we solve your problems.

Lastly the fix may take several attempts and my replies may take some time but I will stick with it if you do the same.


I will be back as soon as possible with your first instructions!

[km2357]

Step #1 Download and run SmitFraudFix

Please download SmitfraudFix (http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.exe) (by S!Ri)

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe.
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

Step #2: Make an uninstall list using HijackThis
To access the Uninstall Manager you would do the following:

1. Start HijackThis
2. Click on the Config button
3. Click on the Misc Tools button
4. Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.
5. Click on the Save list... button and specify where you would like to save this file. When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file. Simply copy and paste the contents of that notepad here on your next reply.



Step # 3 Post Logs

In your next post/reply, I'd like to see the following:

1. SmitFraudFix log
2. Uninstall list

DiMono?

Do you still need help? If any of my instructions are unclear, let me know.
