What can i do to get SmitFraud-C off of my computer?

Question

I scanned my computer one day and found that i had a SmitFraud virus or w/e you want to call it. It hasnt done anything active yet aside from making me dl rogue antivirus software that i removed with spybot in safe mode. But now, my comp gets a blue screen and shuts off every now and then and my browser is going INCREDIBLY slow. What can i do to fix this? Ive already tried Spybot S&D and Ad-aware in safe mode and they havent successfully completly removed it. Is there a way i can reformat my computer without a windows disk ( i didnt get one when i bought my computer ) and keeping the same version of windows vista that i have now? I also have McAffee which hasnt removed it either. What can i do to get rid of this? Its driving me insane with paranoia. And lots of people mentioned that they found the registery it was in, how can i find a registery or w/e with the smitfraud in it? PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!!!

Answer 1

This virus requires a special program and specific steps to remove.  Below is information from Bleeping Computer.

HTH!

======================================...

Smitfraud / Generic Zlob / Quicknavigate / Virtual Maid REMOVAL

From www.BleepingComputer.com

What this program does:

SmitFraud has become a term to mean an infection where fake security alerts appear in your taskbar stating that you are infected. These alerts tend to be accompanied by a rogue anti-spyware program installed on your computer without your consent. Clicking on one of these fake security alerts will either bring you to a home page where you can purchase other fraudulent software or will install automatically, without your permission, one of these software.

Tools Needed for this fix: SmitFraudFix.zip which is available for download at:
