Spyware dpevflbg

[Guest balloonboy]

Recently I was infected with the dpevflbg Toolbar. I have Norton 360,

Windows defender, and PC Tools Spyware Doctor. This malware got through

and I am having trouble removing a couple of remaining issues. The

toolbar itself is gone, however, along with the sluggish performance of

my computer, I have a banner on almost every web page saying:

"Warning possible spyware infection! Click here to scan your computer

for spyware and adware"

The target URL for the 'Click here' is

protect.trustedantivirus.com...with some extra identifying back slashes:

MTY4Nzc=/2/5993/ed=1/ex=1/h=10/zheltaya_hernya/

I have searched out removal methods and am unable to remove this

extreemly annoying banner:mad:.

Any ideas?

It's a malware that is commonly known as Smitfraud:

Smitfraud fix should work in Vista. If you have any difficulties suggest

you post at a reputable anti-malware forum for assistance.

Above is the link for Norton Removal Tool; if using Norton.

 

Vista’s Firewall is very good!

 

http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

 

Above is a link to Avast Free 4 Home Anti-Virus

It is low resource using, free and Vista 32bit and 64bit compatible.

Only have one (1) anti-virus installed; more than 1 can cause conflicts.

 

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

 

For Spyware removal, use the above link to “Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2â€Â

Download it, install it, update it, immunize your system and scan your

System with it.

 

http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/

 

For a non-scanning, but running in the background, Program to STOP Spyware

being downloaded to your Computer, use SpywareBlaster 4, available at the

above link.

 

IMPORTANT ADVICE: After scanning with the above Programs, problems still

remain.

 

Reboot computer, and tap F8 at power on/ startup. From the list of options

that appears, select Safe mode by using the UP and DOWN Arrows, then hit

ENTER.

 

Rescan the computer in Safe mode.

To remove remainder of probs, reboot, tap F8 at right at Startup/power on!

From the list, select SafeMode by using UP and DOWN aroors, hit ENTER.

 

Rescan your computer with Anti-Spyware and Anti-virus Programs in Safe mode..

 

Below is Security I use for vista

The removal of Smitfraud does NOT mean that the system has been cleaned

of all malware -

 

STRONGLY suggest you post at a reputable anti-malware forum for

assistance.

Download David H. Lipman's MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL:

http://www.pctipp.ch/ds/28400/28470/Multi_AV.exe

http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

English:

http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/0...virus-for-free/

 

To use this utility, perform the following...

Execute; Multi_AV.exe {Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS}

Choose; Unzip

Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT

{or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}

 

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to

go through your FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor

related files.

 

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- {or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}

This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in

Normal Mode.

This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web

site.

The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and

Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files

or you can download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you

have downloaded the files needed for each scanner you want to use, you

should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot] and re-run the

menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe

Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal

Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more

comprehensive PDF help file.
