My Laptop Computer Has Been Infected By The Smitfraud Virus, How Can I Get Rid Of It?
I clicked on a video to watch and before I knew it, I had security pop ups, my computer shut down, my homepage is taken over and a security toolbar 7.1 has been added to my IE.
I’ve done a virus scan and removed some programs but it still hasn’t taken care of it.
Help?

This Smitfraud infection usually requires a specialized removal procedure and removal tools. Here is a link for information and free removal software:http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix…
Another free removal tool for you to try. This one is call RogueFix. Tool and full infomation are here:http://www.internetinspiration.co.uk/rog…
After running SmitfraudFix or RogueFix, I strongly suggest to clean-up any infection traces that may remain…scan for trojans, adware, cookies, and spyware and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with Ewido Online Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus. Press “Scan your computer now online and clean it for free!” on the left.http://www.ewido.net/en/
And, never let any website download anything to you unless you 1000% know and trust the web-site and you know exactly what you are downloading. !
Good luck!
I would suggest Spyware Doctor. It has repeatedly been rated as the top antispyware program as it removes the most spyware/adware of any scanner on the market. There is a trial version, but the free version is fully functional that I suggest you try. The free version has a few real-time guards disabled, but it will clean your pc just as well as the paid version. I highly recommend you try it.
