My desktop has been hijacked for over a year with a bright red screen and the flashing message “Danger Spyware”. I’ve tried a half-dozen programs to remove it to no avail - until now!! This one worked like a charm! My sincere thanks for your good work!

None of the downloanding links are working right now, because at the end of the downloading process appears a message [Cannot copy SmitfraudFix.exe: Access is denied]. Furthermore, I connected to the french FTP site through command-line interface and even though the ftp states that the file was downloaded successfully, the file SmitfraudFix.exe doesnt appear anywhere in the disk.

2 Akhbar, just checked download Smitfraudfix.zip, Link is ok.

This didn’t fix mine like it did others. My desktop is now ‘hidden’ by a file folder. It takes up the entire desktop area and I can’t access my actual desktop, which is just behind it. I right click on this ‘desktop’ and check the properties and only get the properties of that file. All icons sit on top of this false desktop, but I can’t access my actual desktop no matter what I do.

Oh my goodness! You are so great! I have been bothered for almost a week by this hijacker and tried several anti-spyware removers but to no avail! This is so so great! It’s gone…I can’t believe it! You’re the best!

Comment by Anton — May 13, 2008 #
WOW!
I spent hours doing on line virus scans, Ad-aware SE, spybot, and our corporate Symantec A/V and NOTHING found the infection. I was getting ready to format the PC and re-install windows when I came across this and it got rid of the infection in minutes!
Thank you so much the I.T. world needs more people like you!
