I've had the dreaded Trojan-spy.html.smitfraud.c on my PC. I got the same blue screen with the same warning that I've seen talked about a lot on this forum. Mine got so bad, it was to the point that I had no desktop icons, task bar, etc.
After buying SpySubtract and running that (which didn't help), I just reinstalled all of my "system recovery" disks that came with my PC. That seemed to clear everything up. But, then I started to get "warning" and "messenger service" popups that say different things. Usually something about having CRITICAL ERRORS and telling me to go to errorfixer.com or updatepatch.info. I DID NOT click on "okay" and I don't even know if those are legitimate or not. But, I just knew that I wasn't going to get my computer back to the really bad stage I had just recovered it from.
So, I came here. I ran EVERY procedure from the "Click here before posting log" link. The only thing that any of those programs found were 11 cases of "alexa data miner" found by Ad-aware. Then I installed the Windows SP1a, as advised.
Now, I'm hoping you'll take a look at my HijackThis log and let me know if I'm clean. Sorry - Just VERY paranoid now!!
