SmitFraud infection (possible others)

Still need help?

[Gary62]

Sorry about the delay. I wanted to give my sister in law some time to use her computer. Apparently so far she has not found any issues with the computer. I told her that unless I heard from her by Friday, I will assume that everything is running as intended without any malware issues.

Can you tell me what items I should go ahead and delete and/or uninstall from the computer at this point? Thank you.

• Activate UAC

• -- This will remove the specialized tools we used to disinfect your system.
  Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can be deleted manually (right-click the file + delete).

My sister in law indicated that she has had no problems for over a week.

I have followed your instructions and deleted all the disinfecting tools / programs / log files.

Thank you again so much for your help.
