Smitfraud/HSA
I've tried the various techniques, but can't seem to get anywhere. I can't get rid of the trojans. I've attached my HT log. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Gordon
I will try when I get home & let you know tomorrow. If I'm successful should I run all of the spyware cleaning software that I have? I also tried yesterday to clean off some of the problems by checking boxes & deleting files from Hyjack This. So I may have even more problems. Certainly didn't solve the situation.
Thanks again Gordon
I was able to boot up in safe mode.
I ran Adaware and MS Antispy. I also ran HT. I will have to find a way to save the log & get it here to post. Any other suggestions in the mean time?
If safe mode is working ok then print these instructions and take them home (?) with you to your computer. I do not know which variant of smitfraud you have but it is worth a try.

You will need the file in step 7 to regain use of your desktop in normal mode. So you will need to find a way to get it.
If you are using XP, try booting into safe mode with Networking. If this is possible then run this online scan and find a way to post the results from the online scan.

I followed the prescribed procedures. Still not able to get online.
I have posted my HT log.

I'll give it a shot. If it works, I'll try logging on. It's much easier to work on this from home. Thanks
Did more damage than good (rookie you know)
Anyway, did a system restore, now everything works great.
Switched to MacAffie firewall.
Thanks for all of your help shadow2018,
greaty appreciated. I'lll probably be asking again at some point.
Cheers Gordon
