Virus problems!

Hi,
I have various problems with my computer.

The home page is set to ***page.net

Pop-ups appear on my desktop advertising sex

Windows alerts appear telling me to scan my computer

These alerts, along with the instructions on ***page.net, all lead to some sort of anti virus site where you can scan your computer, but they all seem to be the same, you can't remove anything without paying for the full version.

I have vet anti-virus, ad-aware and spybot, all of which find things day by day but the problems listed above do not stop after deleting these problems.

Please help!

    Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
    Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

    Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
    Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
    Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

    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.

    Download HijackThis self-extracting zip version from here. Once downloaded, double click on the file & it will install into it's own, permanent folder.
    Start HJT & press the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. When the scan is finished a window will pop up giving you the option of where to save it. Save it to desktop where it is easy to access. Open the log file and copy the entire contents of the file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is necessary for the running of your system.

    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.

    Please download Ewido Anti-Malware it is a free version of the program.
    1. Install Ewido Anti-Malware
    2. When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck..
      • Install background guard
      • Install scan via context menu
    3. Launch Ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop, double-click it.
    4. The program will now open to the main screen.
    5. You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
      • On the left hand side of the main screen click update.
      • Then click on Start Update.
    6. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
      (the status bar at the bottom will display ("Update successful")
    Close Ewido for now.
    ==============

    Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
    This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only
    Close the program for now.
    ==================

    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.
    1) Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
    Under Main choose: Select All
    Click the Empty Selected button.

    If you use Firefox browser : Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
    Click the Empty Selected button.
    NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

    If you use Opera browser: Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
    Click the Empty Selected button.
    NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
    Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
    For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.


    2) 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 does force a restart, please reboot into Safe Mode again, in order to complete the following step. If it does not reboot, please remain in Safe Mode until further notice.

    3) Launch Ewido from your Desktop :
    • Click on scanner
    • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
    • You will be prompted to clean the first infection.
    • Select "Perform action on all infections", then proceed.
    • Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
    • Click Save report.
    • Save the report .txt file to your desktop or a location where you can find it easily.
    Close Ewido Anti-Malware.

    4) Reboot your computer normally.

    If SmitfraudFix did not force a reboot, then you should now see a text file 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

    Note : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.

    5) Post the content of rapport.txt, the Ewido report and a new HijackThis! log in your next reply.
