Post subject: Help! Another Brave Sentry infection... |
|
|
Don't know how, but my PC got infected with da*n Brave Sentry (nothing brave about this malware, but nevermind...). Anyways, with things I know and following your advices on Removal I've managed to take over come controls of my PC but I can't seem to get rid of the stupid pop-up window in my taskbar. I just might have some other problems still, but I haven't looked deeply.
This is my HJT log, and I'm asking for your help and advice. Thanks in advance.

I don't wanna go offtopic but I can't seem to download SmitFraudFix. When I do it says it's not valid Win32 application and when I look it seem to have 0 bytes!?!?! What's wrong?
I should probably say that I've, at first ,downloaded it but it missed some process.exe or something like that (can't remember exactly what it said), so I deleted the folder and tried again. But then it just downloads SmitFraudFix.exe without the rest of the folder I saw the first time?! Help!  |

Hi FlowerFairy
Creating a report is not necessary, but recommended.
As for downloading, try different web browser. I can download SmitFraudFix with no problems at all. If you get the 0 bytes file, this means that the download is incomplete. It did not finish. Try again. The link is here: http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.exe |

Hello, GTO.
I know I'm borring but please help me.
I've downloaded the zip file again and when I unpack it I don't have SmitfraudFix.exe, only thing remotely resembling is SmitfraudFix.cmd and when I try to open that one it says:
SmitFraudFix v2.186
Fichier Process.exe absent !
Dezippez la totalité de l'archive dans un dossier.
Process.exe file missing !
Unzip all the archive in a folder.
Press any key to continue . . .
As for downloading .exe from different browser, I've tried to do it from Opera but it won't work. Every time it goes up to 99% and just stop. Again 0 bytes appear.
****
Ok,latest news... Had to edit my post to say that after 15 (or so) attempts to download .exe I think I did it. But... Again it says it's not win32 app, so I've moved .exe to previosly downloaded zip folder that didn't have .exe. Hoped that will work ,but again -nothing. The window won't even open. Or should I say it opens for half of second. What's wrong? Am I the person with the worst luck in the world or what?  |

Hi FlowerFairy
The only file you download is SmitFraudFix.exe. There are no Zip files. You are doing something wrong.
If you cannot download the file, try scanning your system with the RogueRemover program. Its review and download link is here. |

Thak you for your patience and answers.
Followed your advice but RogueRemover found nothing, so I guess that's not working.
Do you have any idea what am I doing wrong with SmitFraud? It's downloaded now, but when I click on it (to make that report) it opens for a split of second and it closes imediatelly. No text appears at all. Maybe I'm missing some other program or something?
And another thing; when I go to RUN AS... a message appears saying(I'll try to type everything exactly):
title - 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
......
A temporary file needed for initialization could not be created or could not be written to.Make sure that the directory path exists, and disk space is available. |

Hi FlowerFairy
Try starting your system in Safe Mode with Networking Support. Download SmitFraudFix once again and run it. Please let me know if this works. |
