Hello,
Which Spybot-S&D version do you have?
Which operating system do you have?
Do you have installed the latest updates?
Best regards

I have spybot 1.6.2.46 and ALL the latest updates are installed.
I am using Win 7 ultimate 64 bit.
I use the Fix problem and it removes the Smitfraud, but after the next system reboot Spybot finds Smitfraud is back again!
Help me get rid of this trojan please.
Thanks...

Wow thanks for all the help!
PC Tools Spyware Doctor with antivirus removed several other threats INCLUDING Smitfraud-C.generic !!
Spybot could NOT remove Smitfraud and didnt even detect the other threats.
GOODBYE Spybot!

I had the exact same problem. Running Spybot would detect Smitfraud-C generic and remove it but it would come back. I am running the latest Spybot with the latest definitions.
My PC appeared to be running fine and was very fast even with this infection. I had no clue it was on my system. I was not experiencing any outward signs of infection
I ran Hitman Pro and it detected some sort of rootkit infecting my PC. I downloaded TDSSkiller from Kaspersky and ran that in safe mode and it killed the problem.
I followed that running Spybot in safe mode and it picked up the Smitfraud again but it was able to not clean it after having run TDSSkiller first.
System all clean now!

Hello,
Did you open Spybot with a right click and choose "run as administrator/take ownership"?

No I did not, I double clicked the Spybot icon in the systray and ran it from there.
I will remember to do it your way in case trouble ever strikes, hoping it doesn't

spybot 1.6.2.46 2/1/2012 db.

Ran in safe-mode as Admin. Finds it, removes it. I run it again and its there.
Is not able to permanently remove it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello,
Please run a scan in safe mode.
That should fix it.

Safe Mode
Thanks for fast reply.
As stated earlier, I have ran it in safe mode as admin several times.
It finds it, cleans it. Without even rebooting, if I run it again it will find it again.
I am in safe mode.
