    Thanks, This will definitely help out. Not sure why anyone would create such a program

  • ANtivirus2009 says:

    Manual removal and also the Automatic removal has been un successful. The persons involved in this scam have caused huge setbacks to someone very dear to myself and I am not taking this lightly. Question: IS there any chance a good hacker like could find the beneficiary of the major profits on this Antivirus 2009 project? I’m certain there could be some good cash involved for the Name and actual location of said person or persons. This is nothing short of terrorism and should be stopped. These people are causing harm to american citizens and need taken out immediately. Please help in this effort. Thank you.

    I had to do it manually. They’ve changed a number too in the registry. Search for 55672470446558620897169489183378 instead of
    75319611769193918898704537500611

    So far so good

  • Kenny says:

    Hello David,

    It should not take but 10 to 15 minutes at the most depending on your system.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks

    Hello Steve,

    You may want to try the removal process for the Zlob Trojan. Try removing the Trojan and then see if that will help your situation.

    Thanks

  • David Trond says:

    How long does this application usually take to complete?

  • Steve says:

    Suposedly I have removed antivirus 2009, but I can not remove zlob trojan with both my avg 8.0 and spyhunter3.
    everytime I perform a scan with avg I get infected files and usually 1 threat (trojan).
    after the hour and 25 minute scan I then can delete the items moved to the virus vault, reboot and seems to work fine until I go on the internet, once on the internet if I click any site then it stats opening multiple bogus sites or pages.
    How do I fix this?

  • Kenny says:

    Hi Ben,

    You may want to try rebooting into safe mode again and then attempt to run smitfraudfix. It may be asking for you to perform another step such as cleaning the registry which is an important step.

    Thanks

  • Ben says:

    how long should smitfraudfix.exe take? mine seemed to stop on the third step?

  • Tony Todd says:
