Two part reply..

Perform Part 1 then perform Part 2.

If the first two parts don't work, perform the alternate section.

It is suggested that you execute each tool in Normal Mode then in Safe
Mode.

If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version
5.0,
then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior
to JRE
Version 5.0. There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively
being exploited.

Therefore, it is highly suggested that if there are any prior versions
of Sun Java
to Version 5 on the PC that they be removed and Sun Java JRE Version
5.0 Update 6
be installed ASAP.

Simple check, look under...
C:\Program Files\Java

The only folder under that folder should be the latest version...

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06


http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp



Part 1
-----------

Use noahdfear's SmitFraud, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, et. al., removal tool --
SmitRem.exe
http://tinyurl.com/95tzv

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43659.html


Part 2
-----------

Download SmitFraud.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/SmitFraud.exe

Execute; SmitFraud.exe { Note: You must accept the default of
C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE
to go through your
FireWall to enable WGET.EXE to download the needed McAfee related
files.

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML
or
C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the end of the
scan, it will be
displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer).
However, if you are using
WinXP, Win2K or Win2003 your system will be left in a state where you
will have to manually
shutdown/reboot the PC. On Win9x/ME platforms the report will not be
shown in your bowser
but your PC will automatically be shutdown. It is suggested that you
move the report out of
c:\mcafee before performing another scan.

It would be best to scan in both Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save
a copy of the HTML
report for each session.


ALTERNATE:
