I'm having great difficulty removing a virus that creates a toolbar in my browser and creates false alerts that my computer is infected and must be cleaned. I've ran my McAfee Virus scan many times along with McAfee Quick Clean with no luck. While researching this site I've tried the smitfruadfix with much trouble since my pc freezes after clicking yes to running in safe mode instead of using a restore point. The only way to proceed is to select "run in safe mode with command prompt" then using cntrl-alt-dlt to get to "new task" and then start the smitfraudfix. I have to do this since all my icons are missing on the screen. This also usually happens when starting in normal mode, regular background but still no icons. And when I dbl click on IE the web page brings up a fake website claiming the cure. If I search for anything to do with "security toolbar 7.1" it brings up the page but unless I click stop immediately it brings up the "page cannot be displayed" with the address changed to "http://omgtheykilledkenny.omg.theykilledkenny.up4k.1111/". So it's very difficult to stay on daniweb, I will post on another computer to circumvent this.
On to the good stuff. This is after running smitefraudfix and selecting 2.
