lich.exe & Tesla Plus - Help please !

[don't know where to start]

Hello,

Logged online last night & my wallpaper has been hijacked by a page saying:-

Warning! Spyware threat detected! System error #1752
Your computer has several fatal errors due to spyware activity.
Your IP address is 127.0.0.1and via this address an unauthorized
access was gained by another computer. It is strictly recommeded
to install an anti-virus software to close all security breaches.
Your IP address: 127.0.0.1

Your computer is: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.00GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
Risk status for further investigation: VERY HIGH RISK

My usual Zone Alarm security suite failed to detect anything. I downloaded Ewido which detected a trojan virus 'TeslaPlus' which I cleaned & removed.

I have now managed to restore my original wallpaper by clicking & closing the offending hijacked page.

At the same time as the hijack the computer was also infected with the trojan lich.exe (& an application symbol of a dracula icon) - which I think has also been removed.

Please could someone review my HijackThis Log & confirm if it is now clean, or if I need to take any further action.

Many thanks.

HI

Looks like you had one of the many smitfraud variants...

Your hijackthis log is clean, but that doesn't mean your computer is...

Download smitrem from here :-

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/smitRem.php

Follow the Usage Instructions to run the tool ... (in safemode)

When the tool is finished, it will will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive eg; Local Disk C:

Please copy & paste the contents of the C:\smitfiles.txt file into your next post here ...

Also carry out these on-line scans and post the Panda log...

Do a free on-line virus scan here :-

Panda Activescan<<<< click here

and here :-

Houscall<<<< click here

Do both scans <<< Important

Delete all infected files found ... if houscall lists them as uncleanable ... click the "delete" button.

CLEAN!
------------------------------------------------

The HousCall scan did find several viruses (one of which was Trojan) which I followed directions to clean. I then re-ran the scan as directed by them after a virus was found and it came up clean.

The Panda Scan detected 3 Spywares and 2 Hacking Tools. The Panda Activescan log is as follows:-
------------------------------------------------
Incident Status Location
Adware:adware/secure32 Not disinfected C:\WINDOWS\uninstDsk.exe
Spyware:Cookie/Xmts Not disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\M Rossiter\Cookies\m rossiter@xmts[1].txt
Spyware:Cookie/Xmts Not disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\P Rossiter\Cookies\p rossiter@xmts[2].txt
Potentially unwanted tool:Application/Processor Not disinfected C:\Program Files\smitRem\Process.exe
Potentially unwanted tool:Application/Processor Not disinfected C:\Program Files\smitRem.exe[Process.exe]
------------------------------------------------

Please could you take a look and recommend any further action?

Many thanks indeed.

Hi

Please find and delete this file :-

C:\WINDOWS\uninstDsk.exe


Delete these cookies :-

C:\Documents and Settings\M Rossiter\Cookies\m rossiter@xmts[1].txt
C:\Documents and Settings\P Rossiter\Cookies\p rossiter@xmts[2].txt

You can also delete the smitRem.exe file & the folder it ceated.

Your problem should now be resolved... is it ?

[don't know where to start]

I have deleted those items & indeed, the problem appears to have disappeared !

Many thanks for your all your help & the speedy response

[don't know where to start]

Apologies for above post - too hasty in replying ! I am just running Panda Scan again & it has detected more spyware - will post log when finished.

Thanks.

[don't know where to start]

The last Panda log just found cookies so I deleted those, and having run a further scan, there are now no viruses or malicious software on my system.

Sincere thanks for your help
