Sorry for the noob post but I have a computer where IE6 seems to be taken over by winfix spyware. Have done the usual removal with adaware but there is still a popup telling me I am infected and IE6 keeps getting hijacked to some spyware removal site.

I tried hijack this and got the following log but might need a bit of help with what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Frank.

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply, to take care of Winfixer please do the following.

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.
1. Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
2. Click the "Scan for Vundo" button.
3. Once it's done scanning, click the "Remove Vundo" button.
4. You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click "YES".
5. Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
6. When completed, VundoFix will prompt that it will shutdown your computer; click "OK".
7. Turn your computer back on.


Then download ewido (www.ewido.net)Install it. Update it. Run it. Let it remove what it finds.

Then please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt , the ewido log, and a new HiJackThis log.

We, will then work from there to remove the rest of the infections...

Hello, thanks for your help. Here are the files. I hope I have done this right.
The ewido said it found 527 infections!

Alrite great, ya have a SpyAxe infection.

Begin by trying to uninstall these programs from the Add/Remove Programs list:

MyWebSearch
WinFixer 2005

After doing this, reboot your computer, and open up HJt. Begin checking the following:


R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = c:\secure32.html

After checking, close out every window besides HJT and hit 'fix checked.' After doing this, reboot into safe mode and delete the following folders:


C:\secure32.html
C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch
C:\WINDOWS\System32\hp57C7.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\System32\paytime.exe
C:\Program Files\WinFixer 2005

After doing this, reboot into normal mode again, and download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/proc...processutil.htm

Therefore, in your next post, I want to see 2 things: the SmitfraudFix log, and a new HJT log.

Thanks

Hmm, I guess Vundoo Fix missed the winfixer ;). Usally it takes it out.

Hello, and thanks to everyone for the help so far. :) I have followed the instructions and IE is not being hijacked any more and there are no more popups so it looks like the worst of it might be gone.

Here are the latest logs.

ALrite awsome. One more thing to do.

Start by rebooting into safe mode. Then, nce in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.
A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.

No worries tho, ya can always put it back.

Thanks.
