if you have a name brand computer like dell or gateway...they prob provided you with an Operating System cd...

pop that in and follow the commands

Mind you, you will lose everything on your hd. So make sure you have the application and drivers cd also.

the antivirus xp 2008 is actually a virus! Don't use it!

type antivirus xp 2008 remover into google and it should help you out.

My dad got something similar and I had to fix it for him.

Seriously, losing years of information and possibly hundreds of dollars isn't worth ten minutes of fun.

System Restore doesn't clear the viruses.

GSWarriors-

i had that before, but it was spyaxe. but essentially the same problem. you're gonna have to manually remove it. its a smitfraud program and theres lots of ways to do it. Spy Sweeper helped out somewhat, because for some reason it blocked a lot of my internet access and spy sweeper brought it back.

i would also get Firefox for internet browsing, and then turn off Java.

if you want to really really get away from the threat of this again, you could always download Ubuntu for free and use that from now on. that way youll never get that again, because their arent any viruses like that (nor are there very many viruses to begin with for it) for ubuntu.

google avg free and download the free AVG sweeper.Boba_Fett_3710

avg might not actually be USELESS. but it dosent really help much in my experience, i tried and tried with avg and nothing ever worked. I was always updated too.. I got to the point where I just bought an anti virus. Theyre only good for telling you you're infected though.

watch what u delete in the system folder...you'll cause more trouble than you want to

:lol:

True. The XP Kernel is located within /System32 folder (a kernel is the exe. file that boots your computer when you start it up). Don't go into /System32. Theres so much sensitive stuff in there... And if your virus has infected your /System32 folder chances are the reason that the reason 1000+ virus are coming up now is because the virus has infected the /System32 folder and is multiplying throughout your core folders/exe. files.

Screw it, your computer is completely f*****. Get a new cheap one. If you have pricey hardware then try and take it out (carefully!) and install it in your new one.

i think you can download them, but it'll take a while

Download and install SmithFraudFix, go to start, then your control panel, and in the control panel click the icon that says system...Finally, click the system restore tab when the new window pops up, and turn off system restore for now.

Turn off your computer for about 10 seconds, and turn it back on, continually press F8 and the boot menu will appear. Select Safe Mode with networking. Now once windows comes up, enter Smithfraud and wait for it to load, once it does hit any key to enter. A menu will pop up, select option 2, or if you want to be on the safe side make sure Smithfraud is up to date by pressing option 4 first.
