Hijack This Log

[hs_gram]

Somone in my family was visiting websites as far as I can tell and apparently we picked up some malware called Spy Shredder. I did a Google on it and found some downloads to remove it, but it sounds like I need to be very careful about removal. I have not backed up my computer (sigh) since I got it in January (I know I know) so I do not want to do something wrong.

I woud be very grateful for help in removing this and recommendations in preventing future problems like this one.

Thanks!

hs_gram,

Hi, and welcome to Besttechie. I'm going to help you clean up your PC.

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)

Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd

Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).

Please copy/paste the content of that report into 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.

Thanks,

Sari,

When I tried to copy the folder to the desktop, my antivirus program said it found a PUP. It was not the filename process.exe, but another. Do I proceed?

Thanks!

hs_gram,

Yes, please - I promise there's nothing malicious here, but because they're executable files, they sometimes get flagged.
