Okay so I was probably at a site that gave me this friggin thing. I've
completely scanned for viruses and spyware and both now are clean (yes there
were many that were deleted) When I first encountered this problem. My
picture of my kids went away and I have a Dark blue screen with this huge
message that I can't seem to get rid of.
Message States
" SPYWARE INFECTION"
"Your system is infected with spyware. Windows recommends you use a spyware
removal tool to prevent loss of important data and increase system
performance. Using this PC before having it cleaned from spyware threats is
highly discouraged"

I have MS Anti Installed and have run it many times to see what is going on..

Once Again Please help.

Thanks A bunch

Hey Ted

Its a variant of the smitfraud infection and needs a special tools to remove
it and repair the damage, Use Smitrem and Ewido , Smitrem removes SpySherrif
and PS Guard and now also removes the SpyAxe infection plus the trojans that
cause the damage so it will take care of your problems,

Download SmitRem

http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click counter/click.php?id=1

Save it to your desktop,Double click Smitrem.exe to extract it to it's own
folder on the desktop.

Please download, install, and update the free version of ewido security suite

http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background
guard" and "Install scan via context menu". Click on update in the left menu,
then click the Start update button. After the update finishes close Ewido

Reboot into safe mode (Reboot and keep tapping F8 then choose safe mode from
the list)

Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the
tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive,
eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed.

When thats finished run Ewido again.

From the main menu click on 'scanner' then click 'Complete System Scan'
When ewido finds something, it will pop up a notification. Select "Remove"
and check the boxes "Perform action with all infections" and "Create
encrypted backup" then click on ok.When the scan finishes, click on "Save
Report" and save it to your desktop or c:/drive incase you need it again.

While still in safe mode reset the Internet Settings : Goto Start Menu then
Control Panel then to Internet Options, Click the Programs Tab and press
"Reset Web Settings" and include the homepage then press Yes, Then goto the
General Tab and enter the homepage you want to use into the space provided
and press Apply .

Reboot Back To Normal Mode

You will need to reload your wallpaper after this tool finishes, To change
your wallpaper right click desktop and choose properties, Set the Theme to XP
if you are running XP then goto the Desktop tab and choose your wallpaper
from there.

All The Best

Hi Again Ted

No Problem, Im happy to assist in removing this junk, The credit goes to
Noahdfear for creating an excellent fixtool and keeping it updated. Ewido is
worth keeping on your system as it performs fine even after the 14 day trial
expires , It stops the Real Time Protection and Auto Updates but you do not
need the Real Time monitoring if you use Microsoft Antispyware's protection
and the updates can be done manually anytime you want. Ewido release updates
daily so its one of the best scanners/removers available.

Happy Surfing :)

Regards

Andy
