Hi

I posted here on 14th July and Agrarianmonk helped me resolve a Smitfraud infection I had.

I have been running & updating Avir, Ewido and Zonelabs since but the 'your computer is in danger' system tray balloon (not the black desktop) has snuck back into my life! :o

New hijackthis log below - would be grateful for anyone ridding me of this scourge again once and for all!

Hi Rblund,

I'm looking at your log now, and will post back soon. :)
Rblund

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I am afraid you have a very bad infection.

So bad that unless you yourself are an expert we are recommending that you reformat and re-install the operating system.

I have sent you a Private Message - which you can get from the link to message at the top of this forum with details of how to reformat.

Could you please reply here so we know what you wish to do.
Thanks for the post, despite the bad news!

To be honest, this balloon reappearing is not the only problem I'm having and I think my hard drive has just about had it (it's about 8 years old).
I think it's easier if I just get a new drive and reinstall (or take advantage of some of these ridiculously cheap new PC offers....!)

Thanks again

Rich
Thank you for the reply.

I will archive this topic now.

Good luck for the future.
