Experiencing BSOD after running smitfraud fix

Axalon · Apr 18, 2007

Has anyone run into a BSOD after/during running of the Smit Fraud Fix?
I am not referring to the smitrem.exe. I have seen several instances
of C000021a error after running this removal tool. I am trying to
figure out if it is a larger issue and what could possibly be
triggering it.

Thanks for your help!

Axalon,

Have you tried running SmitFraud Fix in safe mode?

Yes, this is a known issue that has just appeared. S!Ri (the author has
been alerted). Don't use SmitFraudFix. Instead, try one of the
alternatives listed here:

BleepingComputer also has a very useful page with removal instructions
