  1. Download an run the the following free software, delete what ever they find should leave your PC free of infections:

    Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

    SuperAntispyware: http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware...

    SmitfraudFix: http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.e...

    Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Editi...

    Once you have removed it keep Avast and download Comodo Pro firewall, then switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE this should stop it returning. (links on my profile)


  2. Yes, I have cleaned up many PC's Free and Easily.

    First try to use System restore to restore your system to a time when it worked properly

    here's how to do it in xp

    Here’s hot to do it in Vista

    after the restore session (successful or not) Download and run Malwarebytes and Superantispyware. this will help you get rid of trojans, spyware, and malware

    SuperAntispyware http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware...

    Malwarebytes http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Ant...

    Download and Run Advanced Windows Care Personal

    http://www.download.com/Advanced-Windows... this will tune up your system and show you what starts at bootup, and allow you to edit this.

    (uncheck the Registry tab, but check the Spyware, Security and startup tabs and see what is starting up and disable harmful items. Sometimes you can run this in safe mode, which would enable you to disable harmful programs before they start in normal mode. Run this program in safe mode if possible and necessary. http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chsaf...

    You can download a free trial of the best antivirus Kaspersky that will work for 30 days

    after that If you can't find a way to purchase it I recommend the top rated (in detection / removal rates) Free Antivirus Avira

    If you need any more specific help contact me, I have helped many clean up their pc's


  3. Update your Anti Virus and Anti Spyware

    Turn off System restore

    Start Computer in Safe Mode

    Scan with Anti Virus and Anti Spyware

    After scan is finished and you have deleted the Trojan

    Restart computer set a new restore point and delete all previous points.

    Rescan with Anti Virus and Anti Spyware.

    If you do not have Anti Virus or Anti Spy Ware I recommend Avast and Spyware Terminator.

    Download, install and update from these links

    http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Editi...

    http://www.download.com/Spyware-Terminat...


  4. You can download the 60 day free trial Avast.

  5. www.superantispyware.com

    www.threatfire.com

    Both are totally free

  6. If you have the recovery CD you can set the computer back to it's original out of the box state. You would need to back up or save to a disk any files that you wish to not lose, including photos. I just had to do this myself. You have to update everything, but it will get rid of the viruses. Then you need a good antivirus software AVG free is good and update daily. Good luck. I also use Ad Aware 2008.

  7. If your computer is infected by trojan, spyware/ adwares/ malwares, you can easily get rid of spywares and adwares by using any free spyware or adware killer tool, you can download the ones  which are free.Free programs to download are Spybot S&D, SuperAntiSpyware, Ad-Aware 2007 and AVG.
