If so, it can be a bit of a *bleep* to remove. I had to delete various registry keys for each user account (possibly in sfae mode?) and delete the picture file for the triangle as well as get rid of any system restore files.
If you're not up to that, try Lavasoft's AdAware (free) and you might have some luck.
Some people say that 'Noadware' can get rid of smitfraud. See here, or Google it:-

Adaware SE is a great tool to get rid of unwanted nasties. Simple too. Get it free from www.download.com, and do a full scan. You'll be surprised how many 'critical objects' need removing - so just follow the simple guide (keep clicking Next!) and they'll be gone in no time.
Good luck.
Do you mean Spy Sweeper?
These places seem to like it but you eventually have to buy it. I gave up on it.

I presume that you are running XP but if not then let me know.
A few things that you can try. First of all make sure that all you anti-spyware progs are up to date.
Disable system restore and remove all restore points. Most anti-spyware progs can�t remove entries from a restore folder as its �locked� by windows.
Check in add/remove programs to see if the nasty can just be uninstalled. It might be that simple.
Boot the PC in safe mode and re-run all your anti-spyware progs in this mode.
