Smartbotpro.net is a CWS marker:

You have a CoolWebsearch infection.

Get CWShredder to repair your CoolWebSearch infestations:

Follow the directions for running the program at the next link.

At bleepingcomputer.com start reading at the section that says:

You can download this program here: CWShredder

(Note...we have noticed recently some CWS variants are harder to remove unless the shredder is run in Safe Mode...hit F8 while booting to enter Safe Mode and run the shredder.) Make sure you select the FIX button and not the Scan only button!

After cleaning with the shredder in Safe Mode do this:

Or try this fix: http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/DeleteOldFiles.htm

Download and run these two programs (Spybot S&D and Adaware) at the link below. Use Spybot first. Burn them to CDR if you need to take to sick machine. You may have access on sick computer after doing previous steps though and can download on it.

Most of the Internet baddies can be killed by a one-two punch with Spybot and Adaware assuming these three factors are achieved:

1. Latest version
2. Configured correctly for running options
3. New definitions from update feature

Chris has posted an excellent tutorial by dgosling on how to run Spybot S&D and also how to enable customized deep scanning functions for Adaware. Once you set these options they will be retained for future scans by Adaware.

Follow the directions in this detailed guide for Spybot and Adaware...print out the directions in the custom scan tutorial as a reference while you set these options for the custom setup of Adaware. These custom settings will be retained for future custom scans so don't go nuts thinking you have to do this every time you run it! It may take you five minutes to set them up, but it's worth it.

http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/spybot-adaware.html

Please note the free Spybot 1.3 does have a slight bug...it detects some DSO exploits falsely. Hopefully an upgrade will fix this.The problem is not serious and should not deter people from using Spybot.

Reboot and browse a bit, exit IE 6 and post a new Hijackthis log.

Special Comments: After the final all clear is given by us you should flush your Restore Points for XP. That means disabling the Restore Point, rebooting to flush it, then re-enabling a new Restore Point. The reason why we need to do this is to purge the bad files hidden in System Restore which can't be cleaned by your antivirus programs.

Great cleanup...one Actulice Trojan remains.

Fix check this one in Hijackthis:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SHEARTSM] C:\WINDOWS\System32\SHEARTSM.exe

Reboot to Safe Mode, enable Hidden Files and stop that process (sheartsm.exe) in Task Manager if present (hit Control-Escape-Shift keys at same time). Then delete it in Windows Explorer and empty Recycle Bin.

Reboot and post a fresh log.

Funny thing happened.  I ran HijackThis and was going to Fix check this one below (like you said):

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SHEARTSM] C:\WINDOWS\System32\SHEARTSM.exe

BUT...it wasn't there.  Instead in it's place was:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [OOTVIDB] C:\WINDOWS\System32\OOTVIDB.exe

What should I do?

I tried to Fix check in Hijackthis:

With no other windows open click on fix checked button in Hijackthis.

Exit Hijackthis.

Reboot in normal mode Windows and run Disk Cleanup: type cleanmgr at Start/Run. Scan all hard drives and check all categories at the end and click OK.

If you have any problems with Disk Cleanup completing...XP users can fix it here:

 http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/DeleteOldFiles.htm

Next...download and run these two programs (Spybot S&D and Adaware) at the link below. Use Spybot first.

Most of the Internet baddies can be killed by a one-two punch with Spybot and Adaware assuming these three factors are achieved:

1. Latest version
2. Configured correctly for running options
3. New definitions from update feature

Chris has posted an excellent tutorial by dgosling on how to run Spybot S&D and also how to enable customized deep scanning functions for Adaware. Once you set these options they will be retained for future scans by Adaware.

Follow the directions in this detailed guide for Spybot and Adaware...print out the directions in the custom scan tutorial as a reference while you set these options for the custom setup of Adaware. These custom settings will be retained for future custom scans so don't go nuts thinking you have to do this every time you run it! It may take you five minutes to set them up, but it's worth it.

Please note the free Spybot 1.3 does have a slight bug...it detects some DSO exploits falsely. Hopefully an upgrade will fix this.The problem is not serious and should not deter people from using Spybot.

Reboot and browse a bit, exit IE 6 and post a new Hijackthis log.

Special Comments: After the final all clear is given by us you should flush your Restore Points for XP. That means disabling the Restore Point, rebooting to flush it, then re-enabling a new Restore Point. The reason why we need to do this is to purge the bad files hidden in System Restore which can't be cleaned by your antivirus programs.

There isn't anything listed named

SREPL40M.exe

The closest thing is

sxml4rm.exe

There are 33 processes running, and all of them are .exe files. 

 

>sxml4rm.exe

Hostile.

Texruss

What does that mean?

Am I supposed to do something to sxml4rm.exe?

Thanks for your help!

Hit Control-Shift-Escape keys at same time. Click on Processes tab and End Task for the following entries:

sxml4rm.exe

Open Windows Explorer: type the word explorer at Start/Run box and click OK:

Navigate down the folder structure in left hand window and then in the right window delete:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\sxml4rm.exe

Post a fresh log.

Texruss

It's not there anymore:  sxml4rm.exe

 

 

 

 

OK...good...post a fresh log for final comments and perhaps an all clear.
