I had an attack from spyware yesterday. I ran my spyware anti-virus and removed everything. But on start up I get a warning screen instaed of my desk top picture. The screen states "Warning! Spyware threat detected! System error #1752." The computer is working OK but I can't get rid of the screen. Could you possibly help? Sending you a copy of the contents I received after scanning with HijackThis. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the patience and detailed instructions for SmithfraudFix download. But it seems that I'm geting a slightly different list of stuff in the folder I download from the one that is in your instructions. Here is the list:
GenericRenosFix 80 KB application
Process 52 KB application
Reboot 24 KB application
Restart 16 KB application
SmithfraudFix 642 KB application
SrchSTS 282 KB application
swreg 42 KB application
swsc 40 KB application
Am I getting a different version of SmithfraudFixor is there something wrong again?
Delete the copy that you have. Download it from one of the sites listed at the Geeks To Go link provided above. Follow the instructions for extracting the folder and for running Option 1. Hopefully, then we will be on the right track.
I must be mad or something, but the file in the instructions does nor exist in the folder I download. I extracted all the files and got exactly the same ones as before. Could something block the download of the necessary file(s)?
Hopefully i managed to do as instructed. here are my logs you asked for.
