kevinsmith: Spyware Strike

I'm another victim of Spyware Strike. I was looking for solutions to this online, and came across this forum. It seems to be a nasty little bug that I can't get rid of, although I find it amusing that the spyware acts as a spyware destroyer. It seems this jerks creating this malware are not without a sense of irony.
Anyway, I did a scan with zonealert, and it showed me the registy entries of spyware strike. I deleted what I could find, but there were two entries I couldn't find. Should I follow the same directions you gave this thread starter to try to resolve this? Thanks.


Oh yeah...obligatory "I'm new here."

    Hi, Welcome to Short-Media :)

    I split your post so you can have your own thread. It makes it easier and less complicated that way for everyone.

    I may ask you to follow the same directions as the other user but I need to know whats on your computer first and what you would need to remove. With that said, can you go here and follow the instructions to save and produce a HJT log.


    Once you have a log, please post it here :)

    Once you have a log, please post it here :)

    Will do!
    Thanks for your quick attention and help.
    I will do it this evening, once I get home. Thanks again.

    Issues I've been having:
    Since this nasty little bugger got onto my system, it's been running very slow, I'm getting that same pesky bubble in the tool bar, and I'm getting the home page redirect. When I just started up my system, adaware ran, found spyware strike, and got rid of it. Until I opened up my broswer to come here, then it redirected and I have all the issues again. I know I need to get firefox, that's a given and I'm hanging my head in shame that I don't have it already as it is. So....guide me, oh bringers of computer fixes! I'm desperate for your help! :clap:

    Hopefully you don't mind the triple post.
    Since I tend to try things myself, I did the fix checked box on hijackthis for the spytrike. Then reran adaware, restarted, and ran adaware again. Each time it found spystrike. Then I ran hijack this again and this is the log:

    I don't mind the triple post but make sure you always know what your doing before fixing with HJT. Alot of the entries are legit. :)

    Also, I don't see no Anti-Virus program or Firewall in your log. No problem for now, as we will get you some free ones later.


    Please read these instructions carefully and print them out! Be sure to follow ALL instructions!

    Download smitRem.exe and save the file to your desktop.
    Right click on the file and extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.

    Place a shortcut to Panda ActiveScan on your desktop.

    Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:
    http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

    Please read Ewido Setup Instructions
    Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.

    If you have not already installed Ad-Aware SE 1.06, follow these download and setup instructions, otherwise, check for updates:
    Ad-Aware SE Setup
    Don't run it yet!

    Next, please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
    1. Restart your computer
    2. After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
    3. Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
    4. Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
    Now scan with HJT and place a checkmark next to each of the following items and click 'Fix Checked':

    ===================================================
    O2 - BHO: HomepageBHO - {4da4616d-7e6e-4fd9-a2d5-b6c535733e22} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\hpD117.tmp
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpywareStrike] C:\Program Files\SpywareStrike\SpywareStrike.exe /h

    ===================================================

    Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
    Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
    The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.


    Open Ad-aware and do a full scan. Remove all it finds.


    Run Ewido: (Do not use the computer while Ewido is scanning as it may interrupt the scan)
    • Click on scanner
    • Click Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
    • NOTE: During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.
    • You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
    • If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
    • DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
    • If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.
    • When the scan is finished, click the Save report button at the bottom of the screen.
    • Save the report to your desktop
    Close Ewido

    Next go to Control Panel click Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Website > Uncheck "Security Info" if present.

    Reboot back into Windows and click the Panda ActiveScan shortcut.

    - Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
    - A new window will open...click the Check Now button
    - Enter your Country
    - Enter your State/Province
    - Enter your e-mail address and click send
    - Select either Home User or Company
    - Click the big Scan Now button
    - If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
    - It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
    - When download is complete, click on Local Disks to start the scan
    - When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.

    Post the contents of the Panda scan report, along with a new HijackThis Log, the contents of smitfiles.txt and the Ewido Log by using Add Reply.

    Let us know if any problems persist.

    Can you go back into Safe Mode and run the SmitRem file again.

    Remove this entry with HJT

    Reboot and post a new HJT log :)

    Oh..yeah...safemode. I knew I forgot to tell you something.
    I can't get my computer to boot up in safe mode. I'll hit F8, select safe mode, and instead the computer reboots again and says there was an error in startup, and asks what I want to do. I keep trying to do safe mode to no avail. So I had to do everything in normal mode.

    Will the entry you asked me to do get rid of that darn annoying securty bubble that keeps popping up? I can get rid of it by going into my toolbar options and clicking always hide, but i have to do it evertime I start up.

    Thanks again for all your help.

    Seriously? For some reason, people infected with Spyware Strike are having trouble booting into Safe Mode. I don't know if this is related to Spyware Strike or just normal computer problems but this hasn't happened before.

    It wouldn't be a problem but as far as I know, SmitRem only works in Safe Mode.

    What kind of error do you get?
  • edited February 2006
    It gave the generic for whatever reason your computer did not start properly, what do you want to do yadda yadda yadda. Hearing that other people have had the same problem, I tend to think that it's related to spyware strike. One of the first things I tried to do when I caught this guy was boot in safe mode and run adaware. I couldn't get it to boot in safe mode then either, this was saturday.

    I'm going to try and find out if there is a new version of Spyware Strike that stops people from entering Safe Mode. I'l let you know soon as I get some info.

    Do you still get the popup?
  • edited February 2006
    I stil get that little toolbar popup, yes. But I haven't done anything since last night. It's on my home computer and I"m at work...I'll have to work on it again tonight when I get off.

    I've asked around and it seems that no one has found Spyware Strike to be causing problems.

    Let me know if your able to get into Safe Mode. Try Safe Mode with Networking and see if that works.
  • edited February 2006
    I tried that the other day as well with the same results. I didn't get to work on the system last night because my wife isn't feeling well and I had to take care of our daughter. And I head out of town tommorow moring on business...so I'll have to try to fix it tonight. Thanks for all your advice!
