evil smitfraud

Hi, i ran into Smitfraud-C and have no clue how to remove it. Until recently didnt even know how to reformat and reinstal XP so as you can imagine im a complete newbie.

I've searched through the forums and from what i can gather there are several ways of removing Smitfraud (depending on specific circumstances of which i have no clue whatsoever). Any help is much appreciated!

Here are my spybot scan results and hijack log:

Hi,
i can confirm that the entry of Smitfraud-C.Toolbar888 was a false positive and will be fixed with the next update scheduled for today. :oops:

DeskMate.Tahni seems not to be a false postive!

Markus

thanks!

Hi soulburn.

I saw you are running two anti-virus programs which is not a good idea.

Rule of thumb is one Firewall and one AV to avoid conflicts and loss of program efficiency. :)
