thanx for this i dont understand how i got this virus though because i wasnt on my email or on the internet i was just writting a report for school
By david on Jan 6, 2008
THANK YOU so much. I was freaking out I already had my hard drive ruined before with malicious spyware and I knew if I pressed ok to that odd “unknown trojan” pop up box message I was asking for trouble. I downloaded SmitFraudFix (because the manual instructions weren’t working for me) and it deleted the corrupted files successfully, I am so grateful. Thanks so much.
By david on Jan 6, 2008
Very good. Thank you.
By Manuel on Jan 7, 2008
I didn’t know what the problem was and I installed the SmitFraudFix and it worked immediately. My computer stopped having pop ups and everything! I was scared at first, as I thought that it might cause a worse virus, but it worked wonderfully! 5 Stars!!! *****
By Bridge on Jan 9, 2008
Ok, what people have to know about Worm.Win32.netsky is that it’s all bark and no bite: the pop-ups are nothing. They say your internets failing and stuff so they scare you into buying their programs, claiming they will work. Of course, you need to get rid of it, and SmitFraudFix is genius, but DO NOT PANIC IF YOU GET THESE POP-UPS!!!

By stephen on Jan 20, 2008

ZOMG TY SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! I really appreciate dis u guyz…idk how the virus got in to begin with, but its out now! TYYYYY!!!!!
By Josh on Feb 12, 2008
It has taken me 12 hours to find and remove NetSky, finally with your removal tool.
The Taskmanager was greyed out and my system performance was horrible. I could not access a browser to find a removal tool until I used System Restore to move back a few days.
I found and ran the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, it found nothing, what a joke.
Thanks Again, Ernie
By Ernie on Feb 12, 2008
Thanks a lot…It worked..
By Dinesh Nayak on Feb 13, 2008
Thanks
It worked great. I spent all afternoon scanning and trying to get rid of NetSky. Your program worked the first time.
By Jim Springer on Feb 15, 2008
Thanks a lot!
I recommend the second option to anyone.
I spent 17 hours trying to delete the virus before i came across this.
Boy was i happy!
By jack chang on Feb 17, 2008
I ran this program yesterday and it fixed it but now its back again, no clue why either. Is this going to keep happening over and over again?
By Dedra on Feb 21, 2008
I used the Smithfruadfix and it got rid of worm.win32.netsky, thankyou so much, It makes you realise how much you rely on your PC when it is down for 1 few days. I had tryed the MRT scan which took more than 12 hours and found/fixed nothing,Norton found nothing and max-registry cleaner didn’t fix it.
By Richard Mills on Feb 24, 2008
I used Smithfraudfix, and it seemed to have worked but now my computer keeps locking up and I’m having trouble accessing websites. I have ran the Windows updates and still having trouble. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
By Danielle on Feb 25, 2008

By party thief on Mar 18, 2008
I have used this before and it works. I have the Netsky back on my laptop now. I’m using SmtiFraud again. If you can’t download on the affected computer try downloading it from another unaffected computer then saving to a storage device then using on the affected computer.
By KevinR on Mar 18, 2008

By ed on Mar 18, 2008

They kept starting and popping up on me. hijacked my startup default page and sloooowed down my puter to standstill…SmitFraudFix WORKED!!!!!! took me twice to get it it run cause had to delete it once and reinstall it again, but I hung in there…THANK YOU! so MUCH!
By scott on Mar 23, 2008
One word describes this fix… “KILLER” Don’t know how Netsky got into the system, but I know how to get it out. People that write these programs should be.. well better not, this is a respectable site. Can’t thank you enough for the fix.
