Welcome to Tom Coyote . Sorry about the delay in responding but we are as most times just overwhelmed with logs.
Did you by chance run HJT in Safemode?? If you did, after you run Option 1 for Smitfraud, run HJT in normal windows and post a new log .
Please download SmitfraudFix
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.
Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
Let me see the Smitfraud log and a new HJT log please
well when i first ran smitRem i didn't run HJT. But I went a head and ran Hjt in safe mode recently.
Please let me know if ya want to see that log. Here is the rapport from SmitFraudfix. I did not run
this in safe mode either. The smitfraud brings me too the antivermins website if I click it. Also I would like to thank you for looking at my post.

Download and Install CCleaner
* Click on Run Cleaner
* Run the Issues Scan < – After it scans your system, when you click on the Fix button and it asks you to backup the Registry..Say Yes Tutorial for CCleaner
well i ran ccleaner and the system seems to be running fine but more importantly is that smitfraud is gone.
I was wondering about system mechanic ver. 6. will it quarintine risk and bad files like spybot does?
Are quarintine files from a security application bad if I uninstall that same security application. Should I continue to run system mechanic in the background or find another security application that does that.
anywho thank you so much, great advice
I have never used System Mechanic so I really can't tell you much about it. I am including some free tools for you to install to help keep you more secure. Myself, my system is running like a top and I have never had much use for those type of programs.
How did I get infected in the first place ? Read these links and find out how to prevent getting infected again.
Tutorial for System Restore <– Do this first to prevent yourself from being reinfected.
Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed.
Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
Win Patrol This program will warn you when any changes are being made to your system and give you the option to deny the change.
IE-Spyad
IE-Spyad places over 4000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
Firefox 2.0 It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.
Zone Alarm Here is a free Firewall from Zone Labs, I wouldn't access the internet without it.
