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

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

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

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.
