SmitFraudFix is a free, stand alone utility designed to remove resilient hijack malware. There are many types of malware out there that your standard antivirus and antispyware products cannot remove because its files are in use or as soon as one of the malware files is deleted, another part recreates it.

I personally use this tool a lot when clients computers are infected with those fake antiviruses which are hard to remove (eg. VirusBlast, AntiSpyCheck, TitanShield Antispyware, WinAntiSpyPro etc). This tool is essential for any technician doing virus removal work. For a list of what it removes, read on.
