Hello - I am having a problem with a program called smtogmsg.exe. I have OnceCare Anti-Virus and Windows Defender (both by Microsoft in Beta) installed and the OneCare firewall keeps poping up asking me if I want to block smtogmsg.exe from accessing the internet. I have done a search on the internet withouth any success, there is nothing at all on it. It says it is located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, but when I go to that directory there is nothing there, I did do a search on my computer and I found it in C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch and the file name in that directory is SMTOGMSG.EXE-261FF95F.pf. I am not sure if I should allow to access the internert since I cannot find any information on it. I am including the Hijackthis log.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi azaouk

You have some signs of infections so its best we run some scanners. Can you set Windows to show hidden files then upload the below files to a virus scan site.

Click Start. Goto MyComputer then c:\drive

Select the Tools menu from the top bar and click Folder Options. Select the View Tab.

Under the Hidden files and folders heading select "Show hidden files and folders".

UnCheck the "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" option.

Click Yes to confirm then OK

Set this back later by opening the same page and pressing the restore defaults button.

Search for these files:

Goto Start Menu > Search > Click All Files and Folders, scroll down to the More Advanced Options which is the last option, click that and then make sure there is a check next to Search System Folders, Search Hidden Files and Folders & Search Subfolders

Once they are enabled scroll back up to the All or part of the filename: area and enter these

stdout
msupdate32.dll
WinGO.exe
smtogmsg.exe

If found make a note of the folder and then upload them all at either of these sites:

http://virusscan.jotti.org/

http://www.virustotal.com/

You can copy and paste the results from jotti and on virus total you left click and cover the text then press Control & C together to copy to clipboard, Once its copied to clipboard you can right click into the reply here and choose Paste.

• Next download and run Blacklight from Here
  
  Run the program, accept statement > click next then scan
  
  Do not rename "wbemtest.exe" as its a windows file. If there are any other files you THINK may be valid don't rename them for now as Blacklight will create a log that can be post back if needed called fsbl-<date/time>.log . If you wanted to rename files left click each and choose 'Rename' then Blacklight will ask you to reboot and change the extention to .ren so they can be found when the system restarts.
  
  
  
• Download, install, and update Ewido Anti-Malware. When installing, under Additional Options uncheck Install background guard and Install scan via context menu. Run Ewdio and click on Update in the left menu, then click the Start update button.
  After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display Update successful)
  Click on the Scanner button in the left menu, then click on Complete System Scan. This scan can take quite a while to run. When ewido finds something, it will pop up a notification. Select Remove and check the boxes Perform action with all infections and Create encrypted backup then click on ok.When the scan finishes, click on Save Report and save it to your desktop or c:/drive then post it back in your next reply.
  
  
  
• Finally run Panda Activescan from Here.
  
  Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
  - A new window will open...click the Check Now button
  - Enter your Country
  - Enter your State/Province
  - Enter your e-mail address and click send
  - Select either Home User or Company
  - Click the big Scan Now button
  - If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
  - It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan
  (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
  - When the download is complete, click on Local Disks to start the scan
  - When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location so you can post it back.

Can you post back the Panda, Blacklight and Ewido logs and a new Hijack This log.

Thanks
