Exclamation System Alert!! Fake! Re: anti-vermins.com

Hi

Today my brother managed to get his computer infected. He was on the net when he was asked to install a Active X control which he unwisely did and since then his homepage was changed and was presented with numerous adds etc but also his System tray now showed a new icon which is there all the time flashing and tells him about system detected virus activity etc. the balloon info and icon are supposed to look like a Windows security centre notification, but when you click on the balloon info speech bubble you are sent to a website (www.anti-vermins.com) and are invited to download their antivirus protection, which he thankfully has not done, because on Further research this would have made his system very open to hackers etc.

Anyway I’ve spent quite a bit of time on it because it was in a bad way.

I firstly I ran his antivirus, Norton internet security scan which showed up nothing, but then my brother decided to tell me its been out of date since last June so no wonder it didn't pick anything up!!.

Because I am pretty anti Norton, I decided to get rid of his ageing 2005 version and replaced it with Kaspersky

On a full system scan with an up-to-date kaspersky antivirus, I found 47 items, here is a copy of these items: which I have deleted

After I had cleared these up I did a reboot. Everything seemed fine apart from the System tray notification thing.

I have had a look at msconfig startup files, I found nothing suspicious

I have used "BT yahoo Antispy" (it was on the system already so I might as well give it a go
That found the following:


I am currently scanning with Windows Defender. This has detected Zlob.

So far everything is back normal apart from the system tray notification icon see image:


I really don’t know how to get rid of that could anyone please help
Cheers

Additional info about problem that I have found:

Let's have a look at what's left on the machine.

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.

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 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.
Once in Safe Mode, 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 doesn't, please restart anyway into normal Windows. A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply along with a new HijackThis log.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt
