I was hit with this gnarly virus named SMART ENGINE VIRUS it will quickly insert its corrupt files and change system registry so as to make your computer impossible to use. It will run its fake scanner and display a list of fabricated scan results. It not only slows down your computer performance, but also paralyzes your browsers and directs you to its affiliated websites. I copied this info, i am not a computer whiz, but I am learning, PLEASE HELP. I tried Mal-ware and it had 800 infected files or whatever. I downloaded smart engine remover, the Malware had already done the work but it is still not working right. I am sure that it wreaked some havoc................frustrated that i cannot get to internet to write papers for schoolwork, thank you. I am trying to copy paste but it is greyed out and i attached, hope that's okay. I tried the first time as you explained and still cannot do it this is 2nd posting.
