Something has taken over the PC

[mr_banana_pants]

My Dad has managed to get something on his PC. It was disguised as some Google software. Everytime he tries to surf the internet a Virus found error pops up like this:
http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/9541/74652058dp6.png and it switches your page to a download link for someother software (again, apparently something of Google's). Failure to follow the insturctions it gives just crashes IE.

Hi mr_banana_pants


Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe.
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
