I have this damn virus call spysheriff, and for some damn reason, I can't remove it. How do I remove it?
You need to run SmitFraud fix. I found a guide on how to remove it, you can access it here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic22402.html SmitFraudFix is available here: http://www.filepedia.com/desktop_software/desktop_security/smitfraudfix.cfm They also show you how to use it and have a link to it in the guide. EDIT (By Pop_Smith): It has you boot your computer into safe mode so I would recommend printing off the guide just to have it handy. Please post back with your results. Peace
Ok. So I did that on my hard drive, and here is the report: SmitFraudFix v2.221 Scan done at 20:24:11.79, Sat 09/08/2007 Run from C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\SmitfraudFix OS: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] - Windows_NT The filesystem type is NTFS Fix run in safe mode »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» SharedTaskScheduler Before SmitFraudFix !!!Attention, following keys are not inevitably infected!!!

Ok I am not sure what to tell you as I have never used SmitFraudFix, I just know you have to use it to get rid of SpySheriff. Do you have Hijack This? If not download that, rename the exe to "Scanner" or something other then its default name and run it. Post the log that it spits out.
