Hi,
I was pretty annoyed that Spybot fully updated could not detect and remove smitfraud!
However, neither could Avast or Zoftspy - and as it was not vundo also neither vundofix or virtumundobegone were of any use either.
So what did I do - tried running spybot in safe mode - still no joy, so I ran smitraudfix despite the warning that some PC's have resulted in hanging - sure enough the smitfraud is gone but the PC hangs on reboot and is not recoverable - result entire OS lost!
The attempted repair was far worse than the smitfraud nuisance. I know i should have persevered more slowly with the attempted removal - now. :-(
Clearly the smitfraud is new but surely it has been long enough for purist programmes like Spybot to have diagnosed it and come up with a full identification of files related and detailed removal for full system recovery?
Maybe i have missed something in my use of spybot - but with latest updates this should not be possible.
So - belatedly - what is the official Spybot removal advice for smitfraud - and how to prevent it loading in the first place?
cheers to all :-0
