Yet Another Virtumonde + Smithfraud Infection ]=

[EPICPHAIL]

I thought my problems was solved after using combofix. However, I realised there's more to it.

My laptop was recently infected by Virtumonde and Smithfraud. Scanning them with S&D won't get rid off them. These two trojans keep recreating itself. Virtumonde create a yayaArrq.dll in system32 folder, which cannot be deleted manually. yayaArrq.dll is ran during System startup as diagnoise by Hijack This.


Here the procedures in order of what I've done:

1) Ran ComboFix which fixes the explorer.exe restarting problem
2) Ran SmithfraudFix
3) Ran Hijack This to try to delete away yayaArrq.dll and its associated BHO, registry
4) Ran S&D

After trying all these, Smithfraud.C and Virtumonde still kept infecting my laptop. Can anyone please help me getting rid of them permanently ?

Below is my HT log after running ComboFix:
