My desktop has turned blue and displays a message that reads:
"Fatal error in IE has occured at 0028:c011e36 in VXD VMM (01)+00010e36
Error caused by Trojan-Spy.HTML. Smitfraud.c"

Additional information:

When I try to click on internet explorer, i get the wait hour glass, but nothing happens.

Diagnose/troubleshooting:

I have done a symantec scan, I have a HJT log.Kapil Goondli......... Have you run a trojan scanner ?

Ewido is a decent one and it will let you test drive it .......
In the meantime ...is you post your hijackthis log we can have a look at it ......it may lead us to the trojan ...


dl65 I did run a scan. I get a message saying "c:\WINNT\systemdll.exe doesn't exist".
I tried to run cleanup.exe it said "application error failed to initialize properly".
I can't get on the internet. I click the internet explorer icon and I get the hour glass,
but nothing happens. I have DSL with Comcast and I have to go to another computer to
do anything. Is there another way to conect to the internet on my computer while trying to correct these issues?
