Trojan Nebular and Smitfraud

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi,

Spybot SD tells me I have Smitfraud, I've tried fixing it using Smitfraud Fix but it didn't work. The fix option on Spybot SD also didn't work. Then there's also Norton AV telling me that I have Trojan.Nebuler. Have deleted registry keys as per instructions on Symantec website but problem remains.

I'm attaching HJT log.

Thanks.

Perry

Hi

I've followed the instructions given. Just three things:
1) The process svchosts.exe was non-existent
2) COM + Messages service had already been disabled on startup when I checked it.
3) PaperQuote\PQ.exe is legit.

Attached is the latest HJT log.

Regards.
