Removing leftover parts of smitfraud.exe for good?!

Question

My computer was recently infected with the smitfraud.exe virus, and after using smitfraudfix, AVG and MBAM, and SpyBot, it looks like I have gotten the majority of infections, but AVG periodically shows a Fake_AntiSpyware.YR as well as a Zlob.Downloader.

Every time these show, I delete them, but they seem to come back within a day... does anyone know a way to get rid of them for good? Or is there a way I can manually delete or block these from re-entering my system?

Yesterday, my free anti-virus caught a trojan virus.
To ensure that the virus caught is not a false positive, I upload it to virus total web site to check.

To my surprise, all the big names in Anti-virus industry cannot detect the trojan. The one that detect the trojan are mainly the free version.

I would suggest that you get Avast. It is free for personal use.


Avast boot scan in Windows safe mode is the most effective way to get rid of 
stubborn trojans and viruses that keep coming back to haunt you. 
These trojan and viruses hide themselves in system restore folder and many anti-virus programs cannot get rid of them. So whenever, you restart your PC, 
the viruses are restore back by WIndows.

Avast boot scan help to get rid of them in the system restore folders and ensure your system are clean.

they are also in your system restore folder.  Turn off system restore, delete all files in there, run a virus scan and then it should be safe to turn system restore back on.
