    Hi there,

    At the moment I've got Smitfraud-C.Coreservice (as it shows up on Spybot) infecting my computer. It's not really slowing my computer down, but the pop ups that appear every 10 seconds when im in I.Explorer are really annoying.

    I've got quite a few anti-virus & anti-spyware programs, such as ESET, AVG Antispyware and Spybot. The major problem I'm having is that Spybot is the only program detecting Smitfraud, and when I go 'Fix' the virus, the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH appears and my computer restarts.

    Is there any way of removing this without having to perform a clean install of windows, as I have had to do so many times when I encounter that blue screen thingy?

    Thanks very much for your time,
    Dave
