Hi, Spybot finds and removes Smitfraud-C.Toolbar888, but it shows up again on a new scan. Additionally, I'm getting a error message on startup that says "Error Loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\wyyimojdll the specified module could not be found"

I have run Spybot, Ad-aware, AVG, Smitfraudfix, and Vundofix.

Could you please help me get rid of the Smitfraud and error message?
 
Just to clarify, the AVG is antivirus only, I do not have the AVG antispyware.

He is the hijackthis log, thanks in advance to whomever may be able to help me;

Thanks for posting a reply.

While I was waiting for someone to reply, I ran Spybot again and the Smitfraud-C.Toolbar888 is no longer being detected. I also uninstalled the Virtuagirl program since it was shortly after installing that program that I became infected with winantispyware, which was the begining of my quest to clear out my system.

The reason I have antiwpa is because this is a second hand computer that came loaded with Windows XP, but I did not get the product code or recovery disc. When I replaced the hard drive with a larger one, I didn't know how to move XP from my old hard drive onto the new one. Since XP was bought and paid for with the computer but I don't have the origional disc, I'm using antiwpa.

I followed your instructions with the exception of removing antiwpa, and I installed the updated Java program. The error code on startup is gone. Hopefully I'm finally free of Spyware and residual files?

Here's another question, I see in several other posts, instructions are given to rename Hijackthis to something else before running. Why is that? Did I need to do that before running it? (this log and the other log were run without renaming HJT)

Here is my HJT log

Your HJT log looks clean, if you are having no issues, then you are good to go.

Virtuagirl program <<< I saw it there and read up on it and it is not considered "malware" but junk often comes with that free stuff if you don't carefully read the EULA.

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\antiwpa.dll <<< I knew what is was for, that is why I gave you the option. You are going to find Microsoft will be making it harder and harder to do that.

rename Hijackthis <<< Hackers know the tools we use and have been hiding Vundo, renaming HJT will show the infection. Some helpers just run the fix if symptoms are present. We are usually a few steps behind them. Since we volunteer our services, they are getting paid better.
The trojan is a prolific popup maker usually directing to the rouge spyware program, Winfixer. If I don't have the symptoms and if I can see 020 BHO's and other 020's I figure Vundo is not present.

Safe surfing...tashi :) will close you topic in a few days.

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:

Thanks to all of you for volunteering your time. If it wasn't for folks like you, the internet and computing would be a nightmare for guys like me. I'm not having anymore symptoms of spyware or malware, so feel free to close this thread. Thanks again!
 
Im Glad we could help
Since the problems are solved Im going to close the topic now, this keeps others with similar problems from posting there logs/question here, they should start a new topic.

If you should need to post another log for the same PC let one of us know via a PM (personal message).
