VirusResponse Lab 2009 Explanation
VirusResponse Lab 2009 is identical to the rogue antispyware program Antivirus Lab 2009. Because VirusResponse Lab 2009 is just like another malicious program it is considered something that should never be installed or purchased.
VirusResponse Lab 2009, once installed, boots with Windows startup and conducts a bogus system scan displaying fake results. This is commonly used as a scare tactic to get computer users to purchase the full version of VirusResponse Lab 2009. That would be a big mistake if you purchase VirusResponse Lab 2009 because you will later find out that you wasted your money. VirusResponse Lab 2009 does not remove spyware, viruses or Trojans. VirusResponse Lab 2009 may have come from a Trojan infection which you should remove in addition to VirusResponse Lab 2009.
Are you getting popups from VirusResponse Lab 2009? Have you identified that you have VirusResponse Lab 2009 installed on your computer? Do you wish to remove VirusResponse Lab 2009 completely from your computer?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I was hit this morning with this VirusResponse Labs 2009 virus thru FACEBOOK! This took about 1.5 hrs to run, but seems to have gotten rid of it completely. I just hope it doesn’t come back. Thank you SmitFraudFix creator!
Thank you very much! I ran it twice to be safe and my computer is clean of this. It is tremendously appreciated! SmitfraudFix was a lifesaver and to those who created it, I cannot say thank you enough. Much thanks to this website for posting this fix.
Thanks soo much. It worked fine. The automatic version gave no problem – very easy to understand. Great Site.
virus i mean

Millions of thanks , I just bought a new 2009 Norton and got infected before install, your help saved me waiting and money calling Symantec, more power!
Thanks much. Worked like a charm.
THANK YOU!!! I have been trying for the last three days to remove VRL2009 from my husband’s computer. I had tried other programs, all which either quarantined or only partially removed. I don’t understand why the one I am paying for didn’t do the job. This worked and it was so easy. Thanks again.
Too Cool – done deal with Smitfraud. Thanks!
Worked like a charm! Thanks!!!
THIS IS AWESOME! I was so worried, but with a click of a button it was all okay! THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am so relieved now that I don’t have the continuous annoying pop ups from that virus! Thank you for all your help!
waw!….i didnt think it would work but i did it anyway and it worked like a spell.. thanks for the help! THANK YOU
THANKS IT WORKED
I went through deleting all the regedit directorys and some of them weren’t there (probabley because i used add/remove programmes then did a restart)
Then Virus Protection was still on my computer after I had deleted them. So I had to download the programme on the site.
It worked. BUT after I had removed Virus Protection and scanned my computer with my actual anti virus and anti spyware software (Mcafee and AD-Aware) it came up that I had a trojan in the programme downloaded off this site. Not to worry as it was easily removed by my anti virus and now my computer actually runs more silently than it did before. Also it may not have been a malicious trojan as I know that keygens and things are picked up by them.
*************************************
********** PLEASE NOTE **************
*************************************
I COULD NOT USE THE F8 KEY TO START MY COMPUTER IN SAFE MODE
But I found another way to start the computer in safe mode, while in normal mode go to
start > run > type in ‘MSCONFIG’ > click on the tab ‘boot.ini’ > click on /SAFEMODE > restart computer
Now it will restart in safe mode. After you’ve used the programme off this site, do the same as listed above unchecked the ‘/SAFEMODE’ box and restart your computer, this will start it back up in normal mode.
After that your computer will be free of Virus Protection, and probably run smoother as mine did.
BIG THANKS TO THIS SITE!!!
I want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
I unfortunately got infected with Virus Response Lab 2009 and within 12 hours my computer was running horribly, my IE was completely messed up and I thought I was going to have to take my computer in to an expert to have it fixed. The automatic removal process worked perfectly and took almost no time at all! THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
I tried all day to remove VRL2009 from my computer. Nothing worked until..
I used Smitfraudfix in safe mode on my computer. I followed the instructions and it worked!
I also used Smitfraufix after trying to do it manually, but being unable to find most of the files. Turns out they were in different folders and named VirusRL2009. But the download fixed it, including the blinking icon, so I couldn’t be happier! THANK YOU!
I just ran the automatic program to remove this virus. It works perfectley. No problems at all and this is not a scam. I was a bit sceptical also. thanks. Bora
