A friend is infected with this program. Can not uninstall
since it is running in the background and I can not see
any option to stop it to be able to un-install.
The program installed itself without him asking for it,
he says. Is this a legit program?
Thanks for any info

Download the following tool which removes the SmitFraud Trojan and SpySheriff,
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/SmitFraud.exe

On the infected PC...

Execute; SmitFraud.exe { Note: You must accept the default of C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow FTP.EXE to go
through your
FireWall to enable FTP.EXE to download the needed McAfee related files.

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\ScanReport.HTML will be
generated. At the
end of the scan, it will be displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or
Internet Explorer).
It is suggested that you move the report out of c:\mcafee before performing
another scan.
It would be a good idea to scan in Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy
of the HTML
report for each session.

thank you David
I had used SpyBot used in the meantime. It showed Smitfraud and
Spysheriff. It wend thru the delete procedure and shows no more entries
found. Biut on the last restart spysheriff was back again and SPYbot
shows both of them again and also a MZS spoolserver32 shows up.
So i will try your procedure now, but there is no McAfee on that laptop
Thank you
rw

Ryan:

McAfee does not have to pre-exist on your PC. The tool will automatically
download the
needed McAfee Command Line Scanner. Just make sure that FTP.EXE is allowed to
go through
your FireWall and download the needed files.
