Its an anoying bit of spyware, try this
Download SmitfraudFix by S!Ri from either of these mirrors to your desktop:
https://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip
https://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.zip
Right click SmitfraudFix.zip and Extract (unzip) the SmitfraudFix folder inside to your desktop.
Restart your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
Choose your usual account.
Further instructions on restarting in Safe Mode can be found here:
https://www.virusvault.co.uk/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/54/
Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder on your desktop and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and pressing "Enter" to delete the infected files.
You will then receive the following prompt:
"Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ? (y/n)"
Type Y for yes and press "Enter" to remove the Desktop background and clean the associated registry keys for this infection.
The tool will then check if the file wininet.dll is infected.
You may be prompted to replace the infected file with another copy from your machine (if found):
"Replace infected file ? (y/n)"
Type Y for yes and press "Enter" to restore a clean copy of the file on your machine.
Restart your computer to complete the removal process.
(A log file of the fix can be found at the root of your system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt)
Although the infection should be removed at this point, scanning your computer in Safe Mode with Ewido Anti-Malware should remove any leftovers. Download and setup instructions for Ewido can be found here:

Not being able to see your browser, I will propose that your browser has been hijacked - showing you an ad as your homepage instead. Quite often what these anti-spyware companies will do is target you through fake "spyware detected" messages - where obviously you are advised to download and buy their program to 'remove' it.
By the way, on the subject of net abuse, I'd delete your IP address from your first post if I were you. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 17 years, 348 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
