smithfraud-c & zlob mediacodec trojans
Thanks to the Ukranians. Anyway, thanks to some poor choices on my part, these pesky bastards have made there way onto my hard drive.
Updated versions of XSoftSE, Spybot S&D, Webroot Spyware & Norton 2006 and Regcure can't seem to permanently delete the culprits.
They replicate like bunnies. I continue to get a bunch of bogus "danger" pop ups and IE start up to websites even though I use Mozilla.
I've changed all of my online passwords from a safe (clean) computer.
I'm willing to buy a flash drive to save a few critical files etc.
Is a reformat the most effective course of action? I've got all the licensed disks etc.
Opinions wanted.
edit I've done all the scans and fix attempts in the "safe" mode too.
