    it doesn’t work completely, at least not on vista. it looks like its gone but it’s still there. i have winpatrol which shows it. malwarebytes removes the annoying popups though. for anyone that has win patrol, after smart antivirus is “removed” you will keep getting a message if the smart antivirus can restart or not on reboot. there is also a yuree75.exe file that looks suspicious too but not sure if its related.

    Thank for the info but I think mind was infected more than what’s listed. I got an error message of Smart Antivirus 2009 earlier but the installer also disable my ‘Task Manager’, ‘Regedit’, ‘Display Properties’ and hide all my drives in my PC. Any idea how to sort it out?

    Thanks,
    William
