Need help recovering from Smitfraud.C

(1/2) > >>

storehadji:
Hello, I'm new to the board, so please forgive me if I'm posting erroneous information, while leaving out the important stuff.

Yesterday I was hijacked by Smitfraud and 40 other spywares.  I ran Antivir, it had 5 detections, I removed them, and then Antivir stopped functioning.  Then the computer began restarting all the time.  I entered Safe Mode, found that Antivir still doesn't work, and ran Spybot and Ad-Aware.  The found and removed many things, though they could not remove one entry of Smitfraud.C, specifically winsys2f.dll.  I rebooted Safe Mode several times, ran Spybot and Ad-Adaware each time, and now each has no detections.  I cannot find winsys2f.dll anywhere.  I have folder oprions set to 'show hidden files' and unchecked 'hide protected operating system files.'  I edited the registry so I was able to turn off System Restore.  I tried reinstalling Antivir in Safe Mode with Networking, but it will not activate or function.  When I start Windows normally, there are multiple errors and it is unusable or I get BSOD.  It is also telling me I do not have a genuine copy of Windows (I don't know if I do or not, but I wasn't getting that message before.)  

Any help resolving this would be appreciated, just let me know what to do or what else to post.

Here is my system, which was built from scratch (not by me) and includes no recovery disc:

Windows XP Professional Version 2002, SP 2
Intel Pentium III, 938 MHz, 512 MB of RAM

I don't know what other hardware to post, or where to find that information.

Here is my HijackThis log taken during Safe Mode (I can't run it in normal mode):

Spybot Search and Destroy will handle that. If you use IE, you can use Spybot's immunize function to prevent a recurrence. Will also prevent a lot of other spyware.

Spybot couldn't remove all instances of Smitfraud.C, only some of them.  Now I'm also having trouble with adirss.exe.

Yeah, doing some google research on removing smitfraud would be a start.......otherwise

Spyware Doctor is a beast and will tell you if there is more to pick up. For me, it got rid of the worst spyware you can imagine. As long it is not a virus (doesn't look like it) Spyware Doctor will cover ya.

When you run into an "issue" I'm sure you will run into and need assistance regarding Spyware Doctor, PM me, and I will relieve you of your pain.

Be nice forum mods please :)
