[baronvongogo]

After googling this seems to be the fix for that trojan:

download ewido trial version:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Disabling the Resident Shield of ewido:

By default the Resident Shield is active but as it may interfere with the process of cleaning your PC, it will need to be disabled.
(When the PC has been cleaned you can activate the shield again, if you wish.)
Click the Shield icon at the top and under "Resident shield is..." - click active.
This should now change to inactive.

Also download smitfraudfix:
http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip

You will then need to extract the files.
To do this: Right click on the zipped folder and from the menu that appears, click on Extract All...
In the 'Extraction Wizard' window that opens, click on Next> and in the next window that appears, click on Next> again.
In the final window, click on Finish

CLEANING PROCESS!!
Boot into Safe Mode. If you dont no how follow this link:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial61.html

Step 1:
while in safe mode run ewido make sure it has updated when you installed it.

Step 2:
Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Press "2" and then <ENTER> to start the cleaning process.

* Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
* You will be prompted "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ? Press "Y" and then <ENTER>.
* The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to "Replace infected file ?" - press "Y" and then <ENTER>.

Your PC now needs to be rebooted. If this does not happen automatically, you will need to do so manually. Either way, your PC will need to be booted back INTO SAFE MODE.

Step 3:
When back in safe mode after all the scanning rerun hijackthis save the log, then return to normal windows mode. Post your log back here and scan with avast and see if the infection is removed.

I followed the steps posted, however Avast is still picking up on the same virus. Here's the Hijack log, any other ideas about getting rid of the virus?

ok in hijackthis check the box next to:

O16 - DPF: {5405D3D8-F371-2B37-D829-55AE1C2DF6D0} - http://85.255.113.214/1/gdnFR2339.exe

and then click fix.

turn off your system restore this link below tell you how to do that:
http://www.precisesecurity.com/how-to/ht-srxp.htm

then download this program too clean your temp files and reg:
CCleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp

once installed click analyze then run cleaner. Then click issues on the left hand side then click scan for issues then fix issues.

then open mycomputer and go to tools>folder options then the tab view, then click on show hidden files and folders.

then go back into safe mode run smitfraud again first, then ewido after it.

after you have done that go back into normal mode and run these online scanners:
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html

Download all of these programs in normal mode, then go into safe mode again and run them on full scans.:
Ad aware SE:
http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE...045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5

Ad Aware VX2 add on (To run this tool once Adaware is updated click on Add-ons in the lefthand column. Select VX2 Cleaner V2.0 and click Run Tool. Click "OK"):
http://www.lavasoft.de/software/addons/vx2cleaner.shtml

Spybot:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

Advanced Spyware Remover:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Advanced_...over_d4977.html

Windows Defender Beta 2 (need real copy of windows to work)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en

CWshredder(removes some browser hijackers):
http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html

Blacklight (rootkit remover)
http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/try.shtml

After all of that scan again with avast and see if it STILL appears.

 

[Mr.88]

That appears to have sorted, thanks loads mate, your help has been much appreciated. /bow

 

[baronvongogo]

no problem , just make sure too keep all your software up to date and run scans weekly. I also recommend these programs to help prevent spyware getting onto your pc:

Winpatrol (real time monitoring of registry changes and suspicious behaviour):
http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html

Spyware blaster (stops hijacking of your browser and blocks spyware):
