    So, what was the stuff that Kaspersky found and called a virus/infected objects?

    I'm not questioning you, I'd like to know for future reference.

    Kaspersky Found Smitfraudfix.exe and it's process.exe and thought it was a Virus/Spyware of some kind ( Meaning that it was false alarm.

    Smitfraudfix is a helpful tool to fight against specific malware on your system. You should not let those reports confuse you. :smiles:

    There also was a file ( Infected one ) located in Firefox cache folder, and that's why i told you to Run CCleaner to clean that up.

    Currently i can not see any signs of malware on your system.

    If you are happy, i am happy, so let me know if things are running better? if there's something you would like to ask, please do. that's why i'm here ;)

    Thanks.

    I'm am very happy and appreciative of your assistance!

    I do have one final question though...

    I did run CCleaner and deleted Smitfraud and it's folder, since then, I was curious to see what Spybot would find, and it found those same 7 things that it cannot clean.

    My question is, will those always show up when I run spybot?

    If you did the Earlier Regifxes correct those Should not appear in Spybot Findings anymore..

    Looks like we have some use for Smitfraudfix again ;)

    Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
    Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

    Double-click smitfraudfix.exe

    Select option #3 - Delete Trusted zone by typing 3 and press Enter.
    Answer Yes to the question "Restore Trusted Zone ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.

    Reboot.

    Scan using Spybot, those entries should be gone now.
