SpywareQuake et al Hijack [logs]

[Edmillion]

Hello there

Seems I have been hit with the following hijack programs, all detected with Spybot 1.4 in safe mode:

- SpywareQuake
- Vcodec
- Zlob.Downloader
- Smitfraud-c

After cleaning these with Spybot, they appeared to disappear, but there's a new problem detected with Spybot after rebooting:

- Windows.ActiveDesktop

I haven't attempted to change anything with Hijackthis as outlined in the forum.

I have run scans as instructed in the "SpywareQuake/SpywareFalcon Hijack" threat. All logs included below:

smitfiles.txt
ewido log
hijackthis log
Activescan.txt
SpybotSD.Report - file 1.txt [attached]
SpybotSD.Report - file 2.txt [attached]

Any help would be *much* appreciated. Great service you folks are offering here.

Ed

Hello LonnyRJones

Many thanks for your reply. I opened smitfraudfix.cmd as instructed and it ran for a second and then produced the rapport.txt below. Am I missing something?

Also, could you possibly clarify what you mean by "along with all others requested" - do you mean the other tests as outlined in my first message?

Any help much appreciated - my home page has returned to normal, but I'd like to be sure that there are no residual files that remain.

"log along with all others requested in your next reply."

That coud be worded better, all i wanted in this case was rapport.txt
Go ahead and delete SmitfraudFix and smitrem, they are no longer needed.

Scan with Hijackthis place a check next to these items and hit fix checked

=====================

Other than that your logs look fine, are there any problems now ?

[LonnyRJones]

Im Glad we could help
Since the problems are solved Im going to close the topic now, this keeps others with similar problems from posting there logs/question here, they should start a new topic.

If you should need to post another log for the same PC let Me or Tashi know.
