How to remove SpywareQuake "Self Help"

This is a "self help" to remove the SpywareQuake infection on Windows 2000 and all XP versions ONLY...Keep in mind this infection can be accompanied by other infections as well...Please print out or copy these instructions\tutorials to Notepad as the internet will not be (while in Safe Mode) available to you at certain points of the removal process. Make sure to work through all the Steps in the exact order in which they are listed below.

Symptoms in a HijackThis Log should show this:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpywareQuake] C:\Program Files\SpywareQuake\SpywareQuake.exe /h

Note: Currently smitRem alone will not remove this infection. We are including it in this fix because Spyware Quake has been seen to install with other portions of the Smitfraud infection. The instructions here plus the use of smitRem should remove most, if not all, of this infection. Once smitRem is updated to include the removal of this infection, the guide will be updated accordingly. How to remove SpywareQuake "Self Help" - TomCoyote Forums
