I have this blue screen of death which has a security message
"Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c
IE 0028:c0011E36 in VXD VMM (01) + 00010E36"
I have seen many threads and fixes for this. My problem is that I cannot run any of the fixes as I cannot get anything to work in Safe Mode.
My screen alternates between the blue screen and the desktop.
Oh! I am running WinXP Pro SP2.
I cannot run the windows disk to repair as my disk is only SP1.
I hope someone out there can help me fix this or at least enable me to save one folder, before doing a format. :sad: :o

You can do an In place Upgrade install with your CD and reinstall SP2 afterwards.

You can download the full installation of SP2 and save it to CD in preparation:

Topic moved to 'Viruses and nasties' in order that you can get assistance with the Trojan.
