This is a great utility and I always have it updated on a USB stick for emergencies. I have had to use it a few times on friends and family members' PCs and it's great! To the reviewer here saying it had a virus in it...durh! It contains routines and processes that may be seen to be like viruses. This makes it no more of a virus than any other valid program! I would warn users though - turn OFF your AV scanner when using this as it will very likely set it off. It isn't a virus, they just trigger a false positive..

I have used this twice on two different computers and it's the only fix that totally cleans smitfraud from computers. Make sure to use it via safemode. It works SUPER!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for this tool. I've spent the last several hours trying to remove this obnoxious software manually, without success. Your tool worked as described. Thank you!!!

This is awesome software! Downloaded it because screen kept freezing and wouldn't let ctrl alt delete to end anything now everything works just fine.
KatPink 28 Sep 2008 9:43 SmitFraudFix v2.354
SmitFraudFix is the bomb! AWOLA was killing me and none of the big name programs could get rid of it. SmitFraudFix wiped it from my system with one wack. I love you SmitFraudFix!
ThumperZ1 28 Jul 2008 20:28 SmitFraudFix v2.332
Some antiviruses find this as a virus. Disable the AV, run the product, delete the product, enable the AV. Works like a champ. Love this!

omg! i thought these reviews were all fake, and made up but smitfraud actually works! i was going through the commands and was about half way through the cleaning of the registry when i decided to just quit and run explorer again... and the icon was gone!
DaleC22 22 Mar 2008 19:47 SmitFraudFix v2.307
I have used it before but I can't download these new versions, ESET Smart Security (NOD32) is blocking it :(

This is fabulous software and the instructions were dead on. Those popups and blinking icons were driving me crazy, and this took care of it in just a few minutes.
rbingalls 12 Dec 2007 7:03 SmitFraudFix v2.264
Tried fruitlessly for hours to stop that damned pop-up! This did the job in a matter of minutes. Highly recommend.
lrrh321 15 Nov 2007 15:31 SmitFraudFix v2.253
I also forgot to mention beside the annoying Security Alert and System Alert popups it has also HIJACKED my Internet Explorer Home Page and I can't get it back! So I'm using Firefox for now to get out to the internet. Thanks for much for any tips! LRRH321
lrrh321 15 Nov 2007 15:28 SmitFraudFix v2.253
Help! I downloaded the SmitFraudFix v2.253 and I am still infected with those "annoying" security alert: spyware found, notices popping up over and over again. Please help or direct me to a more current version to delete these annoying popups asap. I followed all the directions using SmitFraudFix and upon reboot the popups still "live".....Signed, Frustrated with M/S.

Okay. So the execution didn't go perfectly. I got infected by this really stubborn hijacker/fake antispyware site called antivirgear (no relation to the excellent plain antivir which I use on a regular basis). I tried my usual antispyware scans. They detected it in both cases and supposedly removed it in both cases...but didn't. Usually Spybot and Adaware are reliable and work but this stuff was particularly stubborn! After all, I ran these scans AFTER a supposed uninstall of Antivirgear. (Those liars!) I looked for a while to find a cleaner/remover online and stumbled across SmitFraudFix. Followed the instructions. A little quirky and the final part of cleaning the registry supposedly failed. Some sort of warning saying unable to access registry or whatever, but IT WORKED! Upond reboot, not only did was it no longer hijacking my page from my default real home page to the bogus antivirgear site, it returned it to the original state with MSN as the homepage, just like an entire system clean reinstall! Practically returned it to a virgin state. This stuff works! If your problem can't be solved by your regular anti spyware software and the threat happens to be on SmitFraudFix's list of target problems, it will work. Good luck to all who use it. I'm a believer! And it's FREEware! Excellent!

Used against UDefender with complete success. It's about time these malware creators were held to account for this "ransomware" thing.
trrkod 27 Sep 2007 1:57 SmitFraudFix v2.230
Thanks, ran this software just for s___ and giggles. It fixed a 2 month problem I had accepted; Firefox was taking 10 -15 seconds to open despite antivirus and spyware programs installed (and run!). Now, 1-2 seconds and it's up and running like a champ!!
SwiftJohn 12 Sep 2007 20:47 SmitFraudFix v2.222
Somehow an insidious and pesky infection called UCleaner or UDefender showed up on my computer--incessant pop-ups, etc. I saw a suggestion to try smitfraud and I am happy to say that smitfraud worked perfectly. Thank you for developing such a program, and I salute your generosity in providing it as freeware.

SmitfraudFix saved my butt. A GREAT PROGRAM - Thank you to everyone who developed and propagate the software!

Thanks for SmitFraudFix. The pest Trap trapped me and refused to release me. v2.206 came to my rescue. They wiped out pest trap and one more spy (I don't remember the name)bug. The killing of bugs took less than five minutes. Thank you once again! Great work!!
andyoi 02 Jul 2007 10:23 SmitFraudFix v2.197
Also had the dreaded "spycrush",not even detected by up to date Anti-Virus or spyware software but smitfraudfix removed without a hitch.An absolute big thankyou to all concerned in the making/distribution of smitfraudfix.
bunnyrip 29 Jun 2007 19:09 SmitFraudFix v2.197
I had a friend that had a Nasty PUP called "Spycrush. It was undetected by her up to date Norton Anti-Virus, undetected by AdAwar. Uninstallable.Used 100% CPU from startup! Used Smitfraudfix and it worked like a Charm! Kudos to the writers of this software! Thanks!
dacohenz 04 Jun 2007 17:08 SmitFraudFix v2.192
Great software if you have smitfraud or winfixer, but you will also need software like killbox to get rid of that last file that doesn't seem to ever want to go away. Dave
mylene17q 01 May 2007 5:59 SmitFraudFix v2.171
Smitfraudfix is the best!!! I've tried following the manual removal of worms and it worked! I also downloaded your newest version and it was such unbelieveable! I'd say Smitfraudfix is answer to all sorts of spyware and worm problems! I hope to avail of it forever! Thanks to all your whiz/genius team!

chillymax 06 Dec 2006 15:25 SmitFraudFix v2.128
This executable was AWESOME!!! I spent hours trying to fix my computer and I thought I knew something about computers. Thanks!!
silver78r 29 Nov 2006 0:05 SmitFraudFix v2.124
After almost 2 hours of downloading various tools that were "free" (for scanning not for cleanup), I found SmitFraudFix and it literally took just a couple of minutes to get rid of Virus Bursters (ugh!!!). It is truly excellent!!!
yabrahams 22 Nov 2006 7:22 SmitFraudFix v2.123
Smitfraud IS excellent!
nct35 11 Nov 2006 5:37 SmitFraudFix v2.120
Filepedia.com was the only site where I could find SmitFraudFix v2.120 update after spending eternity searching. Smitfraud is excellent and the help from the Tech Support Guys forum was a blessing. Thanks You!!
pokerny 05 Oct 2006 6:04 SmitFraudFix v2.104
This little program was the only thing that got rid of the malware on my computer. It took less than 2 minutes. Great program.
jacheter 19 Aug 2006 18:44 SmitFraudFix v2.81
If you follow directions carefully, SmitFraudFix v2.81 will remove the desktop hijack software, in my case a painless removal of IntCodec which kept warning of bogus infections and popping up with opportunities to buy the "cure". So easy an idiot like me could do it.
