    Spyware Trouble
    « on: March 05, 2006, 03:24:11 AM »
    My desktop was replaced by a huge "warning infected cpmputer" image and an html keeps appearing on my desktop called "adware reviews" and the properties point to http://www.topadwarereviews.com/?adv=196&ads=b which I HAVE NOT clicked. Also, in the system tray I keep getting these 2 popup balloon alerts saying "critical system alert:spyware detected"

    I have run a virus scan (ca ez ntivirus), and etrust pest patrol, plus ad-aware, spybot and the smitrem tool from http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/. After the smitrem tool it looked fixed for about 2 minutes. I dont know what else to do, so here is my hijackthis log. I sure appreciate any help!

    The following has turned up as nasty:

           C:\WINDOWS\wupdmgr.exe

    What it is: http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/wupdmgr/index.php

    You have a virus/trojan. This is to be removed ASAP.  :o

    It looks like you've tried a few scanners... We might need to remove this manually... Try Trend Micro's free scanner (see solution page) See this link... After reading it, click on Solution... http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_SPYBOT.B  ...

    Did you do the cleaning from safe mode with system restore turned off?  ;)

      I did run the smitrem tool in safe mode, trying the Trend Micro now. I will let it run and I'll be gone all day, so we'll see what awaits when I return from that scan :-/

      If the Trend Micro scanner does not work, follow the instructions I gave you to manually remove it.

      The HJT log is incomplete but as suspected from your initial description, a SmitFraud infection seems to be present. Follow the instructions exactly as laid out [highlight]here[/highlight] and then carry out the procedures listed [highlight]here[/highlight]. It would be worth reading this second link first if you're uncertain about setting up Explorer to "Show All Files" etc and disabling System Restore. Post a Hijackthis logfile here when done.

      Remember, all instructions must be carried out to the letter or the cleaning processes will fail.
