After doing a little malware research I read that this "Trojan.FakeAlert or Smitfraud" virus is a pretty tricky thing to get rid of, so I could desperately use some help.

Hi,

Step 1

If you already have Smitfraudfix, please delete this copy and download it again as it's being updated regularly.

Please download SmitFraudFix.exe by S!Ri and save it to the desktop.

If you can't download it, please download it from these alternative sites:

From Geekstogo
From Security Cadets
From Zebulon

Double click on SmitfraudFix.exe.
Press 1 then hit the Enter key.
It will create a report named rapport.txt, usually at C drive.
Please post back this log in 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. Read more here.

Step 2

Please open Notepad and copy and paste the following in the Code box into Notepad:

if exist %systemdrive%\peek*.txt del /q %systemdrive%\peek*.txt

if exist %systemdrive%\startup.txt del /q %systemdrive%\startup.txt

regedit /e %systemdrive%\peek1.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg"

regedit /e %systemdrive%\peek2.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder"

regedit /e %systemdrive%\peek3.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\services"

type %systemdrive%\peek*.txt >> %systemdrive%\startup.txt

echo End >> %systemdrive%\startup.txt

del /q %systemdrive%\peek*.txt

start notepad %systemdrive%\startup.txt

Click on File > Save As....

In the File Name box, copy and paste in msconfig.bat

In the Save As Type box, select All Files from the drop-down list.

Click Save.

Double click on msconfig.bat to run it. Command Prompt will open and close quickly; this is normal. Notepad will open shortly afterwards. Please post the contents of this Notepad file in your next reply.

Step 3

Please download and install CCleaner Slim.
Once installed, double click on the desktop shortcut created.
On the leftmost column, click on Tools.
On the middle column, click on Uninstall.
At the bottom right hand corner, click on the Save to text file... button.
By default, it saves this file to C:\Program Files\CCleaner named install.txt. You may want to save it to your desktop to find it easily. Click Save.
Close CCleaner.

In your next reply, please post:
