That done, reboot into Safe Mode. Open the SmitRem folder and double-click RunThis.bat to start the SmitRem removal procedure. Next, open SmitFraudFix  and choose to search (option 1) and clean (option 2) and run a full system scan to remove anything it finds. Then, run RogueRemover. While still in Safe Mode, run CCleaner. Analyse and clean the files it finds, then click on the Issues button and Scan and Fix any Registry issues CCleaner discovers. Run both the Registry Scanner and the File Analyzer  until nothing more is found.
Run Hijackthis and Remove any leftover issues. Do not delete anything with Hijackthis unless you are absolutely sure what the file is and what it does. For items in the Hijackthis log like the following, which will not get deleted manually, use KillBox to browse to the
location of the file and delete it or delete it on reboot.

Items that are impossible to remove unless using Killbox usually show up in the “20” section of Hijackthis, for example:
O20—Winlogon Notify: msupdate—C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\msupdate32.dll

  1. My PC is running like new.
    I was having trouble with my new computer running slow after I had only had it for a few months. I was upset thinking it was something wrong with my computer until I realized that I needed a good scan to clean out those bugs and viruses that was the real problem. When I started using Search-and-destroy Antispyware it took care of this problem and now my PC is running like new again. The antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy, which you can find at http://www.Search-and-destroy.com, has made a big difference for me and I’m sure you’ll be happy with it too.
