Hello and welcome to the forum. First we must fix HJT. I see it twice:
C:\DOCUME~1\ABC\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rar$EX00.452\HijackThis.exe
C:\DOCUME~1\ABC\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rar$EX00.744\HijackThis.exe
What I suggest you do is delete both of these and open the C:\ and right click a blank spot and make a new folder called HJT. Then download HJT from here: http://www.merijn.org/files/HijackThis.exe
and save it right in the folder you made like this: C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe. If you require more instructions, use these: http://russelltexas.com/malware/createhjtfolder.htm

Management has Pinned very important information to the top of the page and I suggest you read it all. This is the information you need to start the cleanup process for the Smitfraud trojan.

Please follow the directions carefully. Once you post the requested logs, I will be notified and will respond as soon as possible after that to see what may be left to do.

Thanks...pskelley

Thanks and the HJT is clean of malware. These were the instructions:

Copy/paste into your own new topic.
c:\rapport.txt
Ewido log
The HJT log
and I really should see the other two logs to make sure nothing is amiss.

Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

ewido is a great program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:
