Microsoft AntiSpyware is not a AntiVirus utility, update the definitions for
your AntiVirus software restart in safe mode and do a full scan with it. Have you tried an online virus scanner? Run at least 2 of these: Panda ActiveScan http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan Bitdefender http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/Msie/index.php McAfee FreeScan http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp Symantec Security Check http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/ Pc-Cillin (Trend Micro Housecall) http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_pcc.asp PcPitstop http://pcpitstop.com/antivirus/default.asp RAV http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ -- Andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "eustaquio" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:048b01c549c1$bd4e0590$a501280a@phx.gbl... > hi people, > > I got this problem:"TROJAN-SPY.html.SMITFRAUD.C" > > Microsoft Windows anti-spyware didn't notice him. > > is there someone that had this problem solved? |

1=Submit a Suspected Spyware Report
2=and detail the cleaning issue you are finding. Have you tried scanning with Microsoft Antispyware in safe mode? Run a full system scan, check the 3 boxe By doing these steps before trying something new, you make the product better. 3=Get HijackThis.exe from http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/hjt199//HijackThis.exe Save it to C:\hjt (new folder) then Open it and select Scan and Save Log. Note where you saved the log then send it to Ron Kinner as an attachment. He can probably identify the problem and tell you how to get rid of it for good. Put Hijack in the subject so I will know it's not spam. Ron Kinner rkinner@att.net Good luck Engel >-----Original Message----- >hi people, > >I got this problem:"TROJAN-SPY.html.SMITFRAUD.C" > >Microsoft Windows anti-spyware didn't notice him. > >is there someone that had this problem solved? >. > |

This bug is caused by a file called wp.exe that was sent
out in spam that looked like it came from SmithBarney. Run HijackThis http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/hjt199//HijackThis.exe and you will see him down in the O4 entries. O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WindowsFY] C:\wp.exe Terminate the process . You can use HijackThis, Config, Misc Tools, Open Process Manager, find and highlight the C:\wp.exe and Kill Process then Back and Scan and then check his box and Fix Checked. That still leaves a problem in your registry. Start, Run, regedit, OK to bring up the regedit program. find HKey_Current_User->Software ->Microsoft->Windows- >CurrentVersion>policies (Hit the + sign in front of each Key as you find them. That will open up the subkeys.) Under Policies is usually an entry named System. If you find it highlight it and press the Delete key. Then OK. Close the program and reboot. Start, Control Panel, Display (Properties). This should bring up Display Properties/Background. Change the wallpaper to something else and Apply. You may also need to select Web and uncheck the box where it says View My Active Desktop as a web page. OK He also creates a file C:\wp.bmp which is what you see on your desktop. Don't get rid of it until you have done all of the above. Ron |
