  1. Try using smitfraud fix in safe mode. spybot search and destroy also has helped me get rid of it on client's computers.


  2. There are a few choices when it comes to security, mainly in the AntiVirus department. Some very good, free anti-viruses available to download are:

    1)AVG 8 AntiVirus. Easiest interface to use, very fast scanning and doesn't lag your computer at all. Only has a 78% detection rate, but cathes the most harmful of viruses. If you're a normal home user, you're not in too much danger of higher level viruses and this is the AV for you:

    2)Avast! 4 AntiVirus. Smaller, sleeker skin, average scanning speed, but reports alot of safe files as viruses, so you might need to watch out for that. 78% detection rate, but alot more complicated than most other free AVs. Use this if you are handy with a computer and you know what needs to be scanned:

    3)Avira AntiVirus. Simple layout, which even the most basic of users can navigate. Incredibly fast scanning, with a 90% detection rate. Not as easy on the eyes as other AVs, and you need to know what you're doing to get the more advanced features, but it is definite a candidate:

    Personally I use AVG, but only because I go for looks. If you are paranoid about viruses then the only real option is Avira. But if you just want normal protection, then any of the three will do it for you.

    And for any spyware problems, get SpyBot - Search and Destroy:

    Also, for protecting your personal info and files, use Ad-Aware 2008 Free Edition:

    All of them are free, as powerful as paid programs, like McAfee and Norton (which only has a 6% detection rate!), and don't use up as many resources.

    Just boot into Safe Mode (Press F8 when turning on the computer) and run full scans.

    Hope that helps.

  3. Download and scan your computer with the the following free software in order one by one, 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 the infections 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)

  4. Yes there is a free program to remove it.....

    MS Antivirus is a new corrupt anti-spyware product coming from the rogue malware creators, which, as usual, tries to convince PC users that it can find malware parasites in your computer.All they are after is your money.

    For FREE removal scroll to this.........avoiding any ads

    that you see above this point.
