A little more info here...Hopefully this helps:

We mistakenly downloaded a program called "Web Media Player" on Saturday 09/01/07. This is also when the problems began. I'm 99% sure that this is the root of the problem.

Also wanted to share this... I see some very strange .log files in my C:\Windows folder that were all added/modified on 09/01/07. I'll paste a couple of examples here...just in case that helps.

Here is part of a file called netfxocm.log:

Hi and welcome to Malwarebytes. Did you uninstall the program? Please do so if you haven't. Panda flags it as undesireable.

Print or Copy these instructions to notepad and save to your Desktoop as you will be offline with all browsers closed for this fix.

Download:

Use this URL to download the latest version (the file contains both English and French versions):

http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.exe

* Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe

* Select 1 and hit Enter to create a report of the infected files. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Clean:

* Reboot your computer in Safe Mode (before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually)

* Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe

* Select 2 and hit Enter to delete infect files.

* You will be prompted: Do you want to clean the registry ? answer Y (yes) and hit 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): Replace infected file ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter to restore a clean file.

* A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

* Optional:

o To restore Trusted and Restricted site zone, select 3 and hit Enter.

o You will be prompted: Restore Trusted Zone ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter to delete trusted zone.

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

You need to get this program please http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/th.../HJTInstall.exe and post a log from it. Make sure you install it to a folder of it's own on C:\ post the SmitFraud fix log and a log from this HJT in your next post please.

Hi and thanks for your response. I'm still getting the popups - but here's what I did:

First, I deleted the C:\WINDOWS\Temp\NSIS_Install_WMP.exe[WebMediaPlayer.exe file from my machine.

Here is the 1st SmitFraudFix Report run before rebooting in Safe Mode:

SmitFraudFix v2.221

Scan done at 18:09:05.26, Thu 09/06/2007

Run from C:\SmitFraudFix\SmitfraudFix

OS: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] - Windows_NT

The filesystem type is NTFS

Fix run in normal mode

Did you install the media player? If so you need to uninstall it via add/remove programs. Deleting the file isn't the same.

The instructions for SmitFraud are to boot into safe mode then run it. The instructions for these fixes need to be done just how they say. No variations.

Download ComboFix from one of the links below:

http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/ComboFix.exe

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe

2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply.

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall

ComboFix will create a folder called QooBox in C: (C:\QooBox). It will contain any folders that were quarantined. When you are done you can delete this folder - QooBox.

We will see what this shows us. You can scan any of those files you attached here also http://www.virustotal.com/.

The media player was previously uninstalled via add/remove programs. Combo Fix has been loaded and run. After a reboot, QooBox has been deleted.

No PopUps Yet !!! Still holding my breath. I'll respond again later with an update. Thanks for helping me.

Here is the Combofix Log:

Several files were deleted all with malware type names. I'm guessing you got a new variant of Zlob from the media player and that is why SmitFraud didn't get it. Or it could have been doing the fix wrong. If this works great. I'm not seeing a firewall. If your just using the one with SP2 it's not enough.

Many of these infections can be avoided with an added layer of prevention. All recommended programs are free and easy on system resources. You should install them as part of your protection arsenol. Keep Spybot Search & Destroy, actually in your case get it, and always immunize when you update. You will also need at least one other scanning program AVG is good and there are several other excellent programs with free and paid versions. Read the overviews of what each program below does so you have an understanding of their importance and how to use.

A firewall and antivirus are also essential. The Windows firewall in XP is not sufficient.

Preform Windows Updates monthly on the second Tuesday or use automatic updates, and use your scanners weekly at the least. Always update before you scan.

You should post a final HJT log for any clean up left.

Hello again.

You can put a check next to this in HJT and click fix. It is just cleanup not malware.

Sybot S&D TeaTimer is a great tool but if you are not familiar with your system and registry savvy it can be very confusing and annoying. I don't know what your level of experience is but if your having trouble with it you can turn it off and use the rest of the features of this great program. I hope you got the 1.5 version, it just occurred to , me I haven't updated my canned speech. :P The new version just came out last week. Be sure you have it.

Your running wireless you really need a good firewall, one that tracks outgoing traffic and monitors programs etc. This is something that is worth paying for to get a good one. There are good free ones it just depends on the features your looking for.

Keep your Windows updates current and Java Runtime you should be good to go. Don't trust anything telling you to install. lol

Hi Again,

I downloaded and installed Spybot S&D on Friday. I'm comfortable enough with it, I think. I've done some minor registry editing on many of our machines at work and haven't destroyed anything yet ! But I see what you mean...I set of alarms and sirens by just changing my screensaver ! This thing is thorough.

Windows is set to update automatically and I'll keep an eye on Java. I've downloaded a version of ZoneAlarm Firewall that I'll try this week.

Thanks for your help through this! Your time and advice is much appreciated.

Your log looks clean. We need to now reset a clean System Restore point. If you don't and you need to use System Restore you will reinfect yourself. Go to Start>Control Panel>System. Click on the System Restore tab and put a check in Turn off System Restore. Then click OK.

Now go to Start>Help and Support > Undo Changes to Your System or System Restore depending on the make of your PC. Click on what ever will open the System Restore box. You will see two options, Choose Create a System Restore Point. Give it a name like Clean Restore Point and today's date. Now if you need to use it you have it.

Many of these infections can be avoided with an added layer of prevention. All recommended programs are free and easy on system resources. You should install them as part of your protection arsenol. Keep Spybot Search & Destroy and always immunize when you update. You will also need at least one other scanning program AVG is good and there are several other excellent programs with free and paid versions.

I'm happy to have helped you and should you ever need it again we are here. I will close this thread since the issue is resolved.

The instructions in this topic are for this system only. Applying them to your system can cause major damage.
