ForumsSysSecuritySite.com or W32.Myzor.FK@yf is a new rouge anti-spyware program . When it is installed it hijacks your homepage and creates fake popup messages warning you of a W32.Myzor.FK@yf virus. This infection is designed to fool users into paying for a commercial version of the program. Here are the removal instructions for SysSecuritySite/W32.Myzor.fk.
The popup messages can say:
Warning!
w32.Myzor.FK@yf is a virus that infects files with .exe extentions. It attempts to steal passwords and private information from the infected computer. etc..
Fake Popup Message
Hijacked Start Page
- First of all, download SmitRemFix.zip and save it to C:\ Drive. Once it has downloaded, double click on it which will extract it. Do not run the actual program yet as it must be done in safe mode.
- Load into Windows Safe mode by restarting the computer and just before the Windows XP screen comes up, press F8 and choose safemode.
Once in Safemode:
- Goto the SmitfraudFix folder which you saved to C:\ Drive earlier and double-click on smitfraudfix.cmd
- A blue screen will come up saying “Enter your Choice: (1,2,3,4,L,Q):”. For this, Press no. 2 on your keyboard.
- SmitFraudFix will start scanning your computer for any files related to this infection, just wait and let it go though its process.
- Once finished it will ask “Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry?” Press Y, as Yes
- SmitFraudFix may discover that your wininet.dll file is damaged (this doesnt happen in all cases so dont worry if it doesnt happen. If it does find that it is damaged, it will ask you to Replace Infected File? Press Y as Yes and hit Enter.
- It will ask you to restart the computer, please let it restart the PC.
- Your computer should be now free from infection however you should run your virus scanner or use a free scanner such as AVG Free
Once it is complete, Prevent SysSecuritySite.com/w32.Myzor.FK@yf from infecting you again:
- Get a virus scanner such as AVG Free as mentioned above and keep it up to date.
- Restart the computer back into normal mode and visit the Windows Update Site (there is usually a icon in your start menu somewhere. If you dont have this icon you can open your browser and goto http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Thanks dude
Thanks. Awesome tool. Simple to use.
Well Done. Easy Fix. Thanks!
Thanks; works really well!!!!
Thanks a million saved me hours over a rebuild and 20 quid of tools that i’d only use once.
Thank you! You are awesome
THANK YOU SO MUCH! What would we do without awesome computer people like you?
Thank you soooooooooooooooo much this virus was driving me crazy especially when i have just brought the norton update and it could not trace it and delete it your solution worked quick n fast thank you xx
Truly a Godsend!
Thank you so much!
:o)
THANK YOU!
I looked forever around the web for HELP for this pain in the ass thing! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! I am not great with computers and this was EASY! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
in you zip file i didnot find any .cmd file,so eventually i downloaded your AVG antispyware ,which removed the virus(w32.Myzor.FK@yf ).
thankyou
Thanks alot for the software it saved me loads of time
You’re a the greatest man. I spent $70 on Norton and it wouldn’t do a thing. Your fix worked beautifully. Thanks a lot.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.
Hi, spent quite a few hours on this one but now have it fixed thanks to you. Just for info I did have AVG and it picked it up but I could not delete it.
Hi, Thanks very much for the fix, quick and easy, Cheers
Thank you so much. What a scam! This infection and antedote scheme should be illegal. Thank you for helping us thwart these opportunistic #$@#$@#.
Thanks soo much, my 12 year old did this to our 2 month old pc. Your fix did the trick. Norton did not detect this.
Death to all f**kin’ trojans!
senk ju zery mach, it worked
This worked perfectly! Just like a charm!
Hi everyone.
I hope you can help me! Since the start of the year, my homepage has ALWAYS opened as eprotectonline.com, followed by a security warning of w32.Myzor.FK@jf. Sometimes a page opens with adnserror.com, encouraging me to open ’systemdoctor’!
I’ve got McAfee ‘Total protection’ but their scans didn’t detect anything or help. Is this because Myzor isn’t a virus/trojan and is ‘merely’ annoying invasive software?
I have tried to follow advice posted on Technibble before, on:
[url]http://www.technibble.com/how-to-remove-syssecuritysitecom-w32myzorfk/[/url]
As instructed, I:
1) Downloaded SmitRemFix.zip to my c drive (although I wasn’t sure I did the right thing to ‘extract’ before restarting!)
2) opened safemode
3) opened the Smitfraud folders and double-clicked SmitFraudFix.cmd
I couldn’t follow the advice further as I got the following message:
Process.exe file missing. Unzip all the archives into a folder (This was under a title of c\windows\system32\cmd.exe).
Sorry if anything I’ve said is obvious or sounds naive but I’m anything but knowledgeable on computer troubleshooting!
In case its relevant… my WIN.INI & SYSTEM.INI files don’t have lines with Run or load (in WINI) or shell=explorer.exe (in SYSTEM). Could this be a problem? If so is connected to me not removing Myzor?
Thanks for reading this.
Rolf.
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, you are the heros really.. i am a harware technician by profession.. i was thinking to formate my pc to remove the infection.. before that i just log to internet only to get some information about the infection.. UUUUUU ARE REALLY helped me.. thanks a lot

I was absolutely losing my hair until I came across this. Thanks for the help.
Tried to run this on my new computer but get an error message that it doesn’t work with my operating system (Vista). Can you point me in the right direction as I’m about to repack this damned thing in it’s box and sling it out of the window!
this worked like anything for me
solved the issue within no time
thank you very much
thank you soooooo much i was about to freek and you made the fix fast and easy
Brilliant wicked top top top
You deserve a medal…where can you make a donation????
Thank you so much. You are my hero.
It worked very well. Simple and easy method..Thousands of thanks..
Could any one please help me. I am desperate. I have spent almost 5-6 hrs.
Thank you
C. Nori
Worked a Treat Thanks Very Much
thanks, it works well,
dont understand why symantec antivirus just cannot detect this.
Subbu, this isnt actually a virus. Its a nasty adware infection which makes you think there is a virus called myzor on your computer and you need to buy their product in order to remove it.
Rolf’s Post above was very useful only that it took me a long time to understand what he really meant. See my previous post where I tried to extract the files into C:\ drive and I could never make to run. I have Windows-XP.
THEN I COPIED ALL THE EXTRACTED FILES INTO C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ directory (folder)and ran the file smitfraudfix.cmd in safe mode AND IT WORKED.
I believe the cmd.exe resides in this directory and smitfraudfix.cmd seem to like it if placed and run from ……\system32\ folder.
THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES ROLF and YES SmitFraudFix.
C. NORI
Thanks so much problem fixed. wish i had found you sooner.

It really works!
Easy and simple to do.
Even a a complete computer dummy like me managed it.

HELP
Im did up to putting the computer in safe mode. When u open the programe it says file missing please unzip all files (or somthing like that) press any key 2 continue then it goes!!! HELP ME!!
Before my dad finds out I got a virus!!! AHHH
thank you so much. ur great!!!! lav u!
Great! Only took a few minutes … McAfee doesn’t detect this … spent hours prior, to trying your fix.
Worked … Thanks!
hey my mum picked this virus up on her puter and her windows program is windows vista and i’m searching for a way in order to get rid of it she has avg on it and it won’t get rid of it so i ended up going through her windows control panel and it’s protection picked it up and i’ve managed to get her internet explorer to work i think so i’m wondering if there is any person or people who run vista on thier puter try this way as i don’t know for sure if i got rid of the problem that way as these programs don’t mention about it working for vista so please try it through control panel and let us know how you go
Thanks a lot. I really didnt think it would work, but I was thrilled to see that it did. Your the man
As 3 other bloggers previously pointed out, this fix won’t work with Windows Vista. My magical solution was to do a system restore by clicking on the start up button, click on “programs”, click on “accessories”, click on “system tools”, and finally do a system restore to a date before your computer got hit with the virus and you should be good to go!!
Thanks a lot, excellent and easy fix!!!
WONDERFUL…It took about 20 minutes to solve the problem, after I spent 5 hours on it yesterday using other programs.
Did not work for me. Followed it to the letter, and still infected.
i just followed all the instructions but wasn’t notified by the program to replace an infected wininet.dll file. it got rid of the notifications, but my internet is still infected
Great - thanks a lot for the advise - my computer is now clean!
I CANT OPEN smitfraudfix.cmd HELPP:(
Worked great for me the first time. Thanks !!!!!
Hi, Thank you so much ! This works great even for someone who doesn’t understand anything at computers..Norton didn’t even see this thing! Zezima, I understood sthg though : if you get a message on red screen saying something about your “zip” file, it means you have to “unzip” it. If I remember well, you go to the SmitFraudFix folder you saved , rightclick on it and chose “open with WinRAR”. It will ask you where you want to store it. You can chose C drive as before and create an easily findable folder. Then you come back to the procedure above and it should work.. Hope I’m not making any mistake in explaining because I’m just trying to remember what I just did.
i followed the everything but it didn’t work. the thing is i have window vista it says, it’s supported, is thier any solotion? pls…help!
thx,
sherwin
how do you use this removal tool with Vista
Thank you so much for the fix - it worked well. It removed the virus simply and quickly. I would recommend anyone who’s been infected with this virus to use your removal!

At least know that we will say a pray for you with thanks as we nod off for the night.
Cheers,

Once I’m in safe mode and follow the directions posted I don’t get a blue screen I get a red screen and it does not prompt me for an answer. It appears to be a dos window and states press any key to continue and when i do the red box closes. Any suggestions?
I am trying to get rid of W32Myzor.FK@yf. I downloaded SmitRemFix.zip and try to run it on safe mode. It is not doing its job and my oeprating system is Windows Vista. Can anybody please tell me how to get rid of this from my computer?
Sir/Madam,
Whoever is responsible for this article and the SmitRemFix programme following, I stand and salute you in sincere gratitude and humble admiration. Was so, so close to spending out with monies, I really can’t afford to spend, to one of those Internet Highwayman for their bogus wares.
When my fortune is made I will remember the writer of this programme and will reward their honest and socially just actions handsomely.
Out of respect for their endeavours I will petition my local Member of Parliament to bring this up, at the highest level, to ensure that such dastardly actions are punished with severity and impunity.It beggars belief that this can be in any way legal.
I close with simple but heartfelt thanks for making this information, which may be obvious to the expert but is definitely not to the layman, so easily accessible, understandable and executable.
You have all saved and helped so many people from so many different places and it is simply refreshing to know that, even in these modern times, the good in human nature still rises to combat the bad.
Faithfully yours,
Aidan O’Mahoney

Thanks! Great tool! Saved a lot of nervs, and time!
Thank you so much, and I will send a donation. The Anti-virus program I have did not catch it but your program worked perfectly. Tip: I had to Unzip all files after double clicking on smithfraudfix.cmd in order to get to the blue screen.
Ehm, is C/drive the same thing as C/WINDOWS?
And how do i un zip it?, Couse it stand that it does not have an exe file or something
So far so good! I just used this tool and it removed the popup and gave me back my browser! I ran my virus scanner, windows defender and ad-aware scans, and none of them found found this nonetheless fixed it! Thanks.
thank you so much for being so good as to help us not so computery people!
I wish our tech support was as brilliant as you.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thanks
Awesome!!!! Worked beautifully!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! Only took a few minutes to get rid of that nasty bastard! As other people have mentioned, Norton does not detect this. I was driving myself nuts trying to get rid of this thing until I did a search on the bastard virus and found your site. Thanks again!
thank you so much for these easy instructions. i’ve tried everything in the past few hours. thank god i found your site. thanks again!
Will it work under Vista?
Hi,
Kindly advice if it will work on Vista or not, since I have followed your instruction exactly step by step but it seems that the virus is still active & continues to hijack my homepage .
Thanks
I run a windows xp pro system on a network and got the myzor trojan .. I used your fix .. but had to select safe mode with networking to get it to log in .. ran the fix as you suggested… everything went fine except that it did not prompt me to restart .. I got the blue screen back with all the choices and a message that said close all applications the computer may restart… it never did . so I selected Quit and rebooted on my own …I am free of annoying pop ups but its still in command of my home page… any suggestions?
VERY EASY TO USE , ONLY A COMPLETE IDIOT CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT . THANX AGAIN , YOU GUYS ROCK !!!!
I must be the idiot!!! When in safe mode and I double click on Smitfraudfix.cmd, a black screen pops up for a split second, and goes away, and nothing else happens… no prompt for me to enter “2″. I have McAfee, and disabled everything I could, except to delete it from my system. Maybe, McAfee is in my way?? Anyone know what may be going on or how for me to totally disable McAfee? Thanks, Patti
TRY THIS FIRST: Though this site’s SmitFraudFix.cmd apparantly doesn’t work for all cases (as I saw above), it was because of this site that someone reported an alternate and simple and fast and free fix by restoring your system to a previous date; and, everything is back to normal for me - feeuuuew! This fix is faster, and you don’t lose any data files… but, if you downloaded software since your restore date, you will lose that.

[...] To Generate Money These types of infections often masquerade as free spyware or virus removal tools (known as rogueware). Once ran, these fake applications will “scan” your computer and say it found has someviruses (even if there arent any) and in order to remove them, you must pay for the full version of the application. A good example of such a infection is called Myzor.fk which we have written about in the past. [...]
really worked for me, i was just browsing in vain thru some real garbage type content and downloaded this virus, it is just a crook to make people buy their ssoftware.
I followed th eabove steps adn it cleaned that spam warining.
ALL MENTIONED ABOVE WORKS IN ITR TRUE SPIRIT>
DO NO EVIL
I’m only 15, and the only thing I know about computers is MSN and Games, I know basically nothing about viruses. I was downloading porn when this virus infected my computer, and I was really panicking, its not even my computer and my dad is back tommorow!
I searched the viruses name into google, and then found several programs which claimed to kill the virus, so I downloaded several programs and scanned for the virus succesfully, only to find that they need you to buy their product before deleting the virus!
Thankfully I found this program which is extremely simple to use and the steps couldnt be any easier, even I could follow them. Thanks alot mate, you have really saved my ass!!!
Great job. Thank you. My boss somehow got his computer infected with this virus. I fixed it in less than 10 minutes. He thinks I’m a genius. The truth is that you are. Thank you.
I tried this on my computer. I got the following message: “Fichier Process.exe absent! Process.exe file missing”
Anyone experience this? Any ideas?
Dude, your a genius, cheers!
Muchas gracias por la ayuda. Eres el mejor!!!
This was an easy fix!!!!!! Thank you so much, I spent hours looking for the correct site.
Hey All
This shit works. I just did it. It takes a while but will deffinently get er done.

thx….
I had this virus on my system and McAfee and Kapersky couldn’t detect it. A tech guy told me to re
