Go to Start->Run, type Regedit.exe (Including the .exe extension) and click Ok.

Go to Start->Run, type CMD.exe (Including the .exe extension) and click Ok.

Let me know the outcome.

Also try this:

Download the following file and double click on it.

If you receive a security warning about this script, allow it to run.

There is/was a file released that removed and corrected the smitfraud infections, this infection does some of the same things so it might be worthwhile searching for it, smitfruad.reg I think.

Wow Thank you very much, that reg file from the link u gave me did the trick.
Can you tell me what did it do and why it happened. Did the spyware that i had overwrote something and this file fixed it?
