1) Download SmitfraudFix.exe by S!Ri from here and save it to your Desktop.

If you already have a copy, open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Press "4" and then to check for updates.
Don't forget to allow SmiUpdate.exe access through your firewall.
Once it has updated, or if there are no updates available, continue with the scan, "option 1", below.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other options until you are asked to do so!

Please Note: Some security programs will incorrectly identify this tool as potentially or actually malicious due to some of it's components. Although these files can be used maliciously, they are an integral part of the fix and I recommend you tell your scanner to mind it's own business this time.
