    I have infected my PC with Smitfraud. I tired using some standard tools to remove. I ran SPYBot and it identifed Smitfraud, could not remove and requested to re-run auto on startup, which it did. It was not successful in removing the bot, so I tried using an old version of Smitfraud remover and was not able to run. I downloaded the latest version of SmitFraud remover from S!r! and it did create a rapport file, which I will post from my next access from another PC. (My PC will not run a number of websites including MajorGeek). I have downloaded mist of the files for your standard Malware Remover Instruructions, but can not get MGTools.exe to download. When I try to download this link, I get timeout messages. (several attempts). I will run the other tools and post as soon as I can.
    Thanks,

    Try another browser or another PC. Also make sure you have click the Remember Me box when you login to Major Geeks. And also make sure you disable all popup blockers before trying to download the MGtools.exe file.

    I figured out the remember box after reading some of the other MGtools problems and was able to successfully download the file. I ran SmitFraudFix twice in SAFE mode. The first couple of times, it would not get past the killing process cmd and I turned off the PC manually with the power key. When I turned it on later, it had improved. So I ran it again today, and it completed the entire process thru clean and looks good, now. This weekend, I will run thru the other tools from start to finish from your Malware Remover Guide, just to make sure I got everything. Thanks for your quick response. Sincerely, Roger.

    You're welcome.

    That would be a good idea. Make sure you attach all 4 of the requested logs so we can check to make sure everything was fixed.
