    Hi all,

    I have a friend that is trying to get system defender off his computer. Hijack This will not load, Combofix will not load, AVG anti-spyware will not load, system restore will not work. Have tried removing it through add/remove programs but it keeps coming back. Same results in safe mode. If he tries to move his mouse over it in the tray, it starts to install itself again. Anybody have any experience with this one? :confused:
    Thanks in advance
    Don

    Hi
    See if this will download. if so run the fix.
    If it won't download in normal mode, go into safemode with networking and try.
    Download the tool reboot back into safe mode only and follow the instructions.
    Do not do any other surfing while in safe mode with networking.



    Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.


    You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a NotePad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

    Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
    • Restart your computer
    • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
    • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
    • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter ".
    • Choose your usual account.
    Once in Safe Mode, double-click on SmitfraudFix.exe
    Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

    You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ? "; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

    The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter ".

    The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.
    A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
    The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

    Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.

    Let me know.
    Geri

    Hi

    OK Now see if you can do this.

    Please download and install HijackThis and Run a scan then close HJT, then run Deckard's System Scanner and post the main.txt log here. Links and instructions here.

    Thanks

    Thank you for your help and patience.

    Hi Geri,

    Sorry for the delay. Unfortunately, nothing worked. The programs were installed but did nothing when he tried to run them.

    Hi

    OK have him do this,

    Please go HERE to run Panda's ActiveScan
    • Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
    • A new window will open...click the Check Now button
    • Enter your Country
    • Enter your State/Province
    • Enter your e-mail address and click send
    • Select either Home User or Company
    • Click the big Scan Now button
    • If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
    • It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
    • When download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
    • When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location. Post the contents of the ActiveScan report

    Thanks
    Geri

    Hi drc

    Here is what we need to try.

    Go into add/remove list and remove this if listed.

    UltimateDefender

    Please Rename HiJackThis.exe to Killer.exe and see if it will run.

    Try downloading and renaming a fresh copy of ComboFix, but change it's name before saving it. Save it as Combo-Fix.exe instead. See if it will run then. If not, Please give me details of what happens.

    Download ComboFix from [color= "Red"]Here[/color] to your Desktop.

    Let me know.

    Thanks
    Geri

    Hi Geri,

    Sorry for the delay. Looks like it's been solved, but not the way I had hoped. He decided to just reformat and start over. That's one way to get rid of it I guess.
    I was really hoping to find out what it took to get rid of system defender.

    Thank you very much for your help and patience with this one. I wish I could understand what those people get from infecting computers like that. What good does it do to hijack a computer and drive it down to the point where all you can do is reformat? What are they accomplishing? :confused:

    Thanks again, Geri and take care

    Don

    Hi Don

    That's one way to get rid of it. :)

    It all comes down to money these days, they make it hard to get rid of because the longer it's on a system the more money they may get by unsuspecting people downloading their bogus program.

    It's a shame it has to be that way. I wish you the best of luck in your efforts to stop programs like this. Thanks again.
