    Hi

    My PC was infected with Smitfraud and other viruses which generated similar popups such as "Your computer is infected..." etc. including a "MS security centre".
    Using Smitfraud fix and Hijack this, I have removed both, but have been unable to access any websites, or open emails from messenger. Clicking on any links causes a browser to open for a split second and disappear again.

    The only link that does work, however, is the Apple Website through which I am able to access all the major search engines.

    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.



    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Links are given in the Step 2: Installing Tools and Running Scans section for downloading the definitions for the MBAM & SAS scanners. Then copy them to the problem PC. Yes, you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

    Here's a guide on how to attach the logs HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post
