The infected computer is running on Windows XP
Also, I believe I tried a memory stick before for putting HijackThis on the computer but the program wouldnt work because it wasn't installed on the other computer. Is there anyway then I guess to get a setup form of HijackThis to put on the other computer?
I'm not sure what you mean by this:
"I tried a memory stick before for putting HijackThis on the computer but the program wouldnt work because it wasn't installed on the other computer:
You may not need to use HijackThis if what Spybot found is the only variant of Smitfraud.
See if you can save this to a USB stick and
install/run it on the infected computer:
Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.
The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM. If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.
Alright, I installed the program, everything went smoothly besides updating it because I don't have internet access. It saved a log and I rebooted and so far everything looks good, but the wireless internet is still bugged. I think that's a completely seperate problem however.
No need, I figured out why it didn't work. Apparently I was stupid before and deleted random registries because I didn't know how to fix the problem, so I found a winsock registry repairing program which fixed it up so its all working now. Thanks for helping
