Spyware attack on desktop

[technofool007]

I need some help.. I am not even sure how bad this will affect my network.

2 machines on my network (so far) have web pages stuck as the dekstop background. The Win 2000 computer has a faded image of yahoo home page stuck on the desktop.. you can still see a part of the regular desktop and the yahoo page is half active.. a drop down menu is working. When I right click on properties of te ddesktop to chage the picture it says a security certificate was not generated for this site.

The Win XP machine is my great worry.. stuck ont he desktop is:

Please download

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

Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix to your Desktop.


You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a NotePad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

Next, please reboot 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.

Once 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.

Also hit it with spysweeper and ewido. Between these two you should get it just fine.

I would check for malware as well:

spysweeper:

http://www.sabethacomputing.com/downloads/ssfsetup266_1830745541.exe

Update the defs and do a sweep.

Also check this out:

Ewido newest download:

http://www.sabethacomputing.com/downloads/ewido-setup_4.0.0.172c.exe

Update it and run a complete scan.

Post logs back and let us know if you got it.

Regards.

Erik

# Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.
# Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
# Close Ewido and reboot your system back into Normal Mode.



reboot to normal mode and run a few online scans!


Make sure your ActiveX controls are set as follows:

Go to Internet Options - Security - Internet, press 'default level', then OK.
Now press "Custom Level."

In the ActiveX section, set the first two options (Download signed and
unsigned ActiveX controls) to 'prompt', and 'Initialize and Script ActiveX
controls not marked as safe" to 'disable'.


Active X settings

http://www.compu-docs.com/activex.htm

Run ActiveScan online virus scan here

http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm

When the scan is finished, anything that it cannot clean have it delete it.
Make a note of the file location of anything that cannot be deleted so you
can delete it yourself.
- Save the results from the scan!



post another hijack this log, the ewido and active scan logs
