Need help removing Smithfraud

[Bryan C.]

Need help removing Smithfraud from my work computer. My co-worker decided to bypass the company firewall using ninja proxy and we got a bunch of spyware. McAfee, Spybot, and Ad-aware will not remove this. I did some searching and found some information on Google, but I would like to not download more spyware laden programs to just remove this crap. Has anyone dealt with this spyware before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you used this program? I have seen several links to this site, so maybe it is the one I need.

I have, it works, follow the instructions exactly and you'll probably come out OK.
You may also want to run this:

machines that have smitfraud usually have vundo as well.

And if you don't have current antivirus:

click on Free AVG.

You might also get HijackThis to inspect and remove stuff from the startup list.

Thanks for the help. Had to do a little bit of tinkering, but it seems that it is gone. Hopefully for good.
