    Exclamation SpyBot found Smitefraud-C.CoreService but I don't delete core.cache.dsk

    Hi, I have 2 Operating Systems in my pc (drive "c:", Windows Vista Ultimate and drive "d:" Windows XP SP2).
    My problem is with windows vista: I am plagued by Internet Explorer 7 popping up trying to connect to websites that I do not desire to see. In the beginning generally was "http://url.adtrgt.com" but actually open blank pages and with minor frequency.

    "Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5" (updated Jan 25, 2008) found this malware: "Smitfraud-C.coreService", in spite of the option "Repair" the file "c:\windows\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk" continue located in the folder. If I restart en "safe mode" and delete the file, when I restart in "normal mode" the file is back again.

    I have ran "SmitfraudFix.exe" without find a solution.

    Attached is my "hijackthis.log".

    Your help is much appreciated. Thank you...

    Hi

    1. Download this file -
    combofix.exe to your desktop.
    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
