I have a virus and somebody recommended SmitFraudFix?

Is this a safe program to run? Since I'm not an expert at these things, and since I've heard many times that you can do more harm than good by running so called anti virus programs, I was just wondering if anybody knows if this program is safe, and better still, if it actually will clean off trojans and other pests?

    SmitfraudFix is excellent at what it does but it is NOT an all-purpose anti-virus.

    SmitFraudFix is a specialised removal tool that removes exactly 1 (one) type of infection--Smitfraud. It will do nothing to remove the other roughly 999,999 types of computer infection.....

    If your are looking for a general-purpose anti-virus, I would suggest Avast, the newest version 4.8. Avast now includes anti-virus, some anti-spyware capability and anti-rootkit components. And all for the low low price of free. You can get it here:

    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    But You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus, Even an expired anti-virus can cause a major conflict... did I mention that you MUST uninstall any old anti-virus products?

    Best of luck.

    I suggest this service: http://phonedetectives.co/ - The best reverse cell phone lookup service.

    It's a cheap service that works great! It could be used for a much deeper search. You can use it to get hold of different varieties of background reports, and in addition cell numbers, addresses and names.. you can get unlimited reports... I ran with this because I required to verify more numbers.

    You can get the name, other phone number, address history, relatives, and much more about anyone! The completly free reverse phone lookup generally doesn't provide anything interesting. To get interesting information, money will must be paid. The free searches don't provide considerably more than what may be found through the phone directory or personal information and they simply require your email to send spam. The reverse phone detective search tool does work, but you should use just the service that I posted above. The last thing you want to do, is pay for a service and find the numbers you want to lookup are not available in their directory.

    The service that I reccomend doesn't have any kind of problem , you won't get any bad surprise! Trust it!

    Reverse Phone Lookup area gives you additional access to millions of public records, including:

    + Find out the source of a harassing ("prank") caller

    + Research a number that appeared on your phone bill

    + Locate an old friend from high school or college

    + Research "missed calls" on your caller ID that you don't recognize

    + Verify an address

    + And more...

    PhoneDetectives - http://phonedetectives.co/

    Conduct an instant reverse phone lookup. 100% Confidentail and Instant Results!

    The best avaiable service is surely Reverse Phone Lookup.

    You can check the website here: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=538

    The free reverse phone lookup sites generally doesn't provide anything interesting. To get interesting information, you should spend a bit of money. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book or personal knowledge and they only want your email to send spam. You should stay away from shady reverse phone lookup sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Stick with a reputable reverse phone lookup site like http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=538 that has been on the market for a lot of years.

    With their reverse cell phone lookup tool you can find out information behind any cell or land line number. Type in the persons cell phone number and you will be given access to their report, including name cell and land line numbers, and address.

    It can be used also for a much deeper search. People wanting to get hold of all kinds of background reports, as well as cell phone numbers, addresses and names..

    If I remember well there are 2 options:

    Basic:

    You get only one report.

    Advanced:

    You get unlimited reports... I went with this option because I wanted to verify more numbers. You can get the name, other phone number, address history, relatives, and much more about anyone!

    Anyway you can check on the website for further informations. Hope it helps! :)

    SmitFraudFix is safe to use:

    Firstly, download the removal tool from here:

    http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php

    Then follow the instructions on the page

    Also use the following free programs, download, install, update and reboot into Safe Mode to remove:

    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

    Select Full Scan.

    Remove all infections that it finds after scan.

    SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition:

    Select Scan your Computer, select your drive and select Perform Complete Scan and remove infections, then click on Preferences, click Repairs Tab and click on any of the System and Browser Repair Items that you may have problems with then click Perform Repair.

    Use BOTH for maximum effect as they work slightly differently.

    I've never heard of it. I suggest a well known anti-virus like AVG or Spyware Doctor.

    For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/axvaZ

    You might try Friedrich Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil" or "Thus Spake Zarathustra." Another one would be Plato's "Republic." I've got to warn you though, these are all pretty heavy reading.
