SpyAxe/smitfraud-c infection

[dzhokhar]

I have the infection mentioned in the subject line. Spybot was initially unable to remove it and is now unable to detect it even. However, it is clearly still present due to the constant taskbar popups. My hijackthis log is below.

Hello dzhokhar, welcome to SNF

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

Step #1

Please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:

1. Restart your computer
2. After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3. Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4. Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Step #2

Now run HijackThis using Scan Only and place a checkmark the following items:

• O2 - BHO: HomepageBHO - {7caf96a2-c556-460a-988e-76fc7895d284} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\hp4643.tmp

Step #3

Open Windows Explorer and delete these if found.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\mssearchnet.exe <- file..

Close Explorer, and REBOOT your system into Normal Mode


Step #4


Download SpyAxeFix.exe © noahdfear, and save it to your desktop.
Close all other programs and windows.

• Double click SpyAxeFix.exe, then click Start to extract the tool to it's own folder.
• Open the SpyAxeFix folder and double click the SpyAxeFix.bat to start the tool.
• At one point when the tool runs, your taskbar will dissappear, and your computer will restart when the tool completes.
• A text file named spyaxe.txt will be created in the SpyAxeFix folder

Step #5

Post the contents of the file named spyaxe.txt in the SpyAxeFix folder, along with a new hijackhislog.

Thanks, that seemed to fix the problem although I did have to do the safe mode portion twice before the all of the problems went away. My spyaxe.txt and hijackthis.log files are below.
