hi,

you can remove combofix like this:
start>run>type in the window;
combofix /u then click ok
note, there is a space after the x and before the /

maybe slighlty different in vista if your not using the classic start menu.

i think your version of Java is out of date. you should get the latest version:

It is very important not only to keep Sun Java up to date but also to remove older versions which have security holes and can be exploited by malware.

* 1. Uninstall old versions of Sun Java via Add/Remove Programs.

* 2. Click the Remove or Change/Remove button

* 3. Reboot your PC if prompted.

Download the latest version:

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 4
The full internal version number for this update release is 1.6.0_03-b05 ("b" means "build"). The external version number is 6u5.

Download from:

it should be uninstalled, its not a traditional antimalware app like superantispyware or others, its also updated on a regular basis.
use window defender and SAS. keep them both updated. you can also delete the smitfraud folder.
learn how one might get malware to protect yourself.see my tips below.

if all is good, happy safe surfing
