    Remove Whitesmoke trojan/malware(Hijack log)

    I am running windows 7 home premium on my HP machine. Today evening it shutdown abnormally and rebooted. The machine instantaneously hung up through a blank screen and no taskbar. Just the power push-button will shut it down. At what time the PC came up the second time there were more than a few new icons with a new Yahoo Chat pop-up on the desktop. Furthermore there were two White Smoke. At the same moment after every 50 to 60 seconds all the icons disappeared from the screen for a faction of sec. At the same time the taskbar vanished and take a sec to rebuild. Any system kind function such as Search or else Explore terminates at what time the desktop clears.

    And presently because you "resolved" something by means of HijackThis, it does not signify you have a spotless system. There are particular files as well as folders that have to be deleted after that. HijackThis does not remove them. Additional, Eliminating entries in HijackThis previous to the trouble is appropriately recognized can make the malware unnoticeable to further detection as well as removal tools. Complete system scanning tools similar to SUPERAntispywre or Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware or else Spybot S&D as well as SpySweeper will take away the registry entry plus the associated files which results in a further entire deletion process. HijackThis be supposed to just be used to clean up the entries left at the back, subsequent to you have appropriately removed the malware.

    I will recommend you to run sfc/scannow to Repair System Files. You can follow the below procedure to run sfc scan:
    1. Go to start menu and click on all programs and right click on command prompt, now select run as administrator. You may be asked to enter to enter the administrator password. Provide the password or else press oK.
    2. This will open command prompt. In the command prompt type: sfc/scannow and press enter.
    3. If the program need to replace any files then it wil ask you to enter the windows installation CD.
    4. Now wait for time as it will scan your system and check for any corrupt or damage files and replace them with the correct one.
    5. If this does not repair the trouble by means of your system then some other troubleshooting actions are necessary
