Hi,



Please download SmitfraudFix:

http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php

Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by rebooting the computer,

and repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the pc starts. Choose "Safe Mode" from

the options listed.



Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double-click

smitfraudfix.cmd



Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected

files.



You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the

registry?" answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove

the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the

infection.



The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to

replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press

"Enter".



The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process;

if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.



The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

if you had a mac, like me, you might not have this problem. but since you have a pc... you can use the panda active scan(google it) and see if it gets the problem. there is also adaware for catching viruses.



also google W32.Myzor.FK@yf and see what others have done to get rid of the virus.

I even have the comparable subject, curiously like that's the stepped forward virus by using fact the nice is £50 extremely than the £seventy 5 and £one hundred. i'm no longer able to do any of the earlier reported fixes the two and the show is taken over alongside with taskbar so i'm no longer able to press start up with the message. i've got tried job supervisor however the virus in basic terms stops each thing.

Download their software!



No, don't. You've got malware on your computer. Playing their game will put more on it and it'll eventually make your computer unusable. Get the following:



Ad-Aware SE

http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html

(This isn't shareware; the bought version just has more features)



Spybot Search and Destroy

http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html



If you use Firefox, get NoScript

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/

You can pick and choose who can use Javascript on your PC.



Don't allow sites to put cookies on your PC except those sites that you trust.

Firefox--Tools-->Options-->

Privacy-->Cookies, uncheck "Allow sites to set cookies."



IE--Tools-->Internet Options-->Privacy, and set the bar, since IE is too stupid to allow you to pick and choose.



Javascript and cookies are the biggest reasons why computer get malware. Control those, and your infection will diminish rapidly.

You have a worm, when the warning pops up does it say to delete or Quarantine it. If it does pop up again, click delete infected file/files.
