update do this first

Before attempting this removal procedure, download the following removal tools to your desktop and install them.

• SmitRem by NoahdFear - Tool to remove Spyaxe, SpySheriff, PSGuard, WinHound, and other issues
• SmitFraudFix - Tool to remove most SmitFraud infections
• RogueRemover - tool to remove Rogue applications installed with SmitFraud

Removal Procedure
1) Download the programs above to your desktop, extracting and install them. Once this is complete, reboot your computer in Safe Mode
2) Open the SmitRem folder and double-click on RunThis.bat to start the SmitRem removal procedure. Besides removing particular files that it looks for, the tool also runs the Disk Cleanup tool to remove temporary files on the hard drive that may contain problem files. For a Tutorial on using SmitRem click here
3) After SmitRem has finished, open SmitFraudFix and choose to search (option 1) and clean (option 2) and run a full system scan to remove anything it finds. For a tutorial on using SmitFraudFix click here
4) Double-click on RogueRemover and run it to remove misc rogue application files installed with SmitFraud
