Smitfraud

[steven]

I have done my best to sort out smitfraud but the programs keep trying to access the internet. These are blocked by my firewall and I then proceed to delete them. However every time I run spybot S&D it keeps coming up as finding smitfraud and the 888 toolbar. I repeatedly run and remove this butevery time I re-run spybot it keeps coming back. Could you please help me thanks.

Hello Steven and welcome to the forum, let me first say that
Smitfraud-C.Toolbar888 is a false positive in Spybot, see this information:
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=8668 you can ignore it and if that is your only problem, you are good to go.

If you are having other problems, then you need this information:
