[RICARDOC]

I have this virus and i have read most of the screens and i still have not found an answer. when i turn my computer on i log in and i used to get a blue screen, but i deleted wp.exe and now i only get a black screen and the only way to get to my files is thru the TASK MANAGER alt+ctrl+del.

Here is a copy of my log as of last night. any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

This appears to be a log from Safe Mode. Can you post a hijackthis log from normal mode?

[Buckeye_Sam]

Download the following reg file to your desktop by right clicking on the link, and selecting save as.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/reg/smitfraud.reg

Once it has downloaded, double-click on the smitfraud.reg file on your desktop and when it asks if you would like to merge the data, click on the Yes button.

Reboot your computer and you should now be able to change your desktop settings back to how you would like it. If your desktop still looks strange, go into your display properties and click on the Themes tab. Change the theme to Windows XP and you will now be using the default Windows XP settings. Then change them as you see fit.

Reboot and post a new hijackthis log and let me know of any problems you experienced.

Buckeye Sam,

I dont have a start icon or a tool bar. also my modem seems to stop working because i cant dial out. i did put this file you suggested in a floppy disc and opened from there and i merge the file like it says, but i still dont have a start icon or tool bar. What do you suggest??

Thanks for all your help.

[Buckeye_Sam]

To restore your connection, try WinsockFix.

BUCKEYE SAM,

Thanks for all your help I could not get anywhere so i ended up formating my C drive and reinstalling windows. The only problem i have now and i had then was that my modem would not dial. If you have any insight into modems let me know. I already tried using the one file you mentioned above but it did not work.

Thanks for your help.

Ricardo

[Buckeye_Sam]

I don't know enough about a modem to advise your properly. You might check the hardware forum.

[RICARDOC]

Well back on line with a new formated C drive and fresh windows instalation. I got my modem runing and I am updating my anti virus and i will try to download a fire wall. Is there a specific fire wall you recomend?

Thanks for all your hel Buckeye Sam. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
