Thanks for the help Kim. I completed the steps in your post and attached new logs. Sorry about not mentioning my symptoms, after I completed the 8 steps they went away and I thought my computer was clean. I posted the logs thinking they were used for research.
My previous symptoms were IE home page was changing and redirecting me to a site for anti virus software and warning messages popping up from the system tray with a flashing yellow triangle. The warnings said my system was infected by malware and a trojan. I appreciate the help you are providing. |

Actually you're clean!
I thought fast.exe was an issue, but it's a process belonging to Windows XP PowerToys. So no issue. Sadly Smitfraudfix, came up as a removed issue in Antivirus scan Not sure why, because my Smitfraudfix (that just sits in a folder) doesn't. Anyway yours was removed. There's just one issue I see, and that's Symantec (antivirus) still running (just like this antivirus, the uninstall never removes everything) Please run the Norton Removal Tool, from h e r e Then Restart And then you're done

Kim, thank you very much, you have been extremely helpful. I ran the norton removal tool. When this problem first began I downloaded Norton but it wouldn't install saying I had an old program from them, but it didn't appear in add/remove programs. So then I went to mcafee (they are just jokes to me after all the research I've done)
AV prompted me regarding smitfraud and I had it deleted thinking maybe smitfraud had something quarantined that it couldn't delete. It seemed like a powerful tool though and I'll probably download it again. Let me know if you want additional logs or if there is anyway I can repay you for your help. |
