I saed the "smithfraud" to my desktop.But when I opened it I found 19 files;but not "smitfraudfix.cmd "I did find "smithfraudfix"without the ending.
"cmd"It merely started the operation all over again.
HOWEVER,I did,on my last preceeding post,supply a "HiJackThis" file
Was that of any value?
I will redo the "smitfraud" thing.

I ran that malwarefix program again,and got this,when I seleted "log",before switching to adobe photos."the file is damaged or an unsupported format"
When I selected"quarentine" and then "log" I got this ;"error 708(0) contact Malware.
I emailed them;expect an answer tomorrow.
I will try again,after supper,to get something ffor you to examine.

I'm all tapped out.
I'm 78 years old,and this is not a "challenge"any more;it's a "chore".
I will live with my imperfect computer for now.
Maybe later,I'll try again.
But I wish that you would do me a favor.
Reply#2 included some anti trouble programs that I had installed over time.
Lava Soft Ad Aware CE
Adwisor Personal
Belarc Advisor
Firefox Setup 1.5
Drive Cleaner
Should I disinstall any of them?
also Reply #13 included a "HiJackThis" log.
Could that be evaluated?
Thanks

Lets try this and see if it gets any results. I know this can all be taxing on the nerves so hopefully it will help.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) to your desktop from either of these two links.

• Link 1
  
• Link 2

• Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  
• At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
• Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  
• Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

• Click Finish.
  
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad.
• Please  copy and paste the log into your next reply
  • If you accidently close it, the log file is saved here and will be named like this:
  • C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\mbam-log-date (time).txt

----------

Next post please add the malwareBytes log.

I followed your latest instructions.
Link#1 wasa $20 program that found 590 errors on my computer.I declined,and went to link#2.It was the same one that I had tried before;with the same results."no errors found"I had quarantined them the last time.
When I clicked"log"I got the same error message"damaged file or unsupported format"
I was going to do a run with my old Drive Cleaner,but it somehow got deleted from my computer.Could the new reg cleaner have replaced it?
I would appreciate some remark about the prograns that I asked about last time.

The old drive cleaner got deleted by MBAM because it is a malicious program.

The links I gave were to the free version, you should not have to pay for anything I suggest.

Download>> Superantispyware.exe<< Do a full system scan with it and remove what is found.

sorry;
I must have clicked on a wrong item in the 1st link.Wheni tried it the second time,it was for free.I also ran the super anti spy program.
I now have over a dozen programs on my computer.
REg Clean   Malware anti   Registry Booster   HiJackThis   Digital Line Detect  Lavasoft Ad Advare SE   aawsepersonal   advisor belarc   Belarc Advisor  Firefox Setup 1,5   ieg6setup   Version Tracker   psa30se_en_us
Please advise as to which of these I can live better without.
