I am trying this process tonight. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to my computer (puresafetyhere.com) stay away from it. I got the virus from clicking on those toolbars that pop-up sometimes that say “Install the latest version of ActiveX to continue.” I’ll let you know how this works.
Thanks!
By Alli on Feb 11, 2008
Yes thank you very much. Finally kill the virus after running SmithFraudFix tool. Norton couldn’t do the job.
By Joe on Feb 11, 2008

Why can’t McAfee and Spybot FIND THIS F’in thing. I’ve never had trouble like this, and above mentioned software doesn’t seem to know Virus Heat/ this shit exists.
By Jas on Feb 27, 2008
just tried to download smitfraud… mcafee says it has stuff on it that’s not part of ‘it.’ So what the hell? None of you know how to really get rid of anything do you?
By Jas on Feb 27, 2008
This failed me. I tried the software, it couldn’t access the files it needed in order to get the software.
A waste of time. I spent 3 hours on this to find out it killed some of my temporary files… and killed my safe mode. Do not do this.
By Niji on Mar 1, 2008
Thank you very much for the method and a special thanks to the writer of the program your amazing !
By Albert on Mar 3, 2008
wow…..smitfraud is the best..the virus heat logo in my tray and pageforsafety.com were eliminated.thank you so much….
By ROBBY on Mar 6, 2008
THANK YOU!!! I stupidly bought a anti-virus off line for 20.00 that didnt do squat and this worked and got rid of that stupid annoying icon in the systemtray in the lower right corner. Dont be aafraid to use this it honestly works 100%. Thanks to whomever was involved in this program, you are a true saint. Its good to know there are atleast a few good people still left in this world that care enough to stop crap like this.
By Derek on Mar 10, 2008
wow. worked great thanks a lot. most of the time these tools never work. I wonder will this software work for other spyware as well?
By James on Mar 14, 2008
thank you!

Can’t thank you enough!
By Eric on Mar 30, 2008
YES ITS FINALLY GONE! After I deleted VirusHeat the icon was still flashing and it was really bugging me. All you have to do is follow the instructions and wait.
By Steven on Mar 30, 2008
Have yousomething to kill TrustedAntiVirus ???
By Mike on Mar 31, 2008
Thank you this was the only thing to get riod of the dreaded flashing icon ..none of the manual ways worked. I didn’t get the clean reg option after option 2 and had to just switch off at the wall but it still worked

By Ricky on Apr 12, 2008
You may also need to delete a folder NetProject in Program Files, coz there are few new adds to this Tojan !
By SAGITARIUS on Apr 14, 2008
since none of the spysweepers can detect this, it makes me wonder if it was manufactured specifically by the webmaster?
By anonymous on Apr 15, 2008
Hats off to the developer(s) of SmitFraudFix. Great tool. Followed the instructions and got rid of that crap.
By Taps For Troops on Apr 16, 2008

This worked for my friend that I was helping over the phone. Removed it and cleaned up the system tray and the extra search line in IE.
Thanks so much!
By WJW on May 7, 2008
You guys rock!! Phew!! I wanna kill the parasites who produce this invasive, time wasting, stress inducing garbage. Anyone know where they live!?
By Seth on May 10, 2008
It really works fine to me. I must delete de SmitfraudFix folder that the tool create?
By pepelepu on May 12, 2008
After gettig this awfull virus I was very wary about installing anything else, but I thought I might as well as my pc was useless and I had nothing to lose. I did run it and it cured all the problems. Thankyou so much, you saved me a great deal of time and expense
By dean on May 18, 2008
What a great program. Spent an hour reading support forums that detailed complicated steps and multiple pieces of software to get rid of this appalling virus, smithfraud did it in minutes! I hope everyone will donate some money to the guy, I certainly will.
