Smitfraud | Smitfraud Removal Guides and Tips

Smitfraud has been around for many years now.  It does seem that since Cyber monday in early December of 2008 Smitfraud has made a very big comeback.  The new strain of Smitfraud is very simlar to the older ones but it does seem to come with other rootkit infections as well.  Most people who are infected with Smitfraud will notice they are unable to change their desktop background, they can not bring up the task manager and they also are infected with a fake security client.  As well many users are reporting being infected with Zlob, virtumonde and several other such virus trojans as well.

We have tested Spyware Doctor with Antivirus and it does still pick up and remove this newer strain of smitfraud.  You can download the software at www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor-antivirus/.  After the install you should go under settings and then select the check box next to scan for root kits.  This will ensure if you do have any rottkit threats the software will remove them.  As usual the makers of this software PCTools does offer free help via, phone e-mail and a forum for all of those that make the purchase.
