I have been having problems with my computer today. I have run Spybot S&D many times and everytime I run it, it comes up with a malware known as "SmithFraud-C.Generic." It tells me to fix the problem and I do. I run the S&D again to double check and the problem is back.

Also, I have run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware many times, and after the scan it comes up with a malware known as "trojan.agent." It tells me to ge rid of it and its successful, but when I restart and run the scan again, the problem is back.

It has prevented my Microsoft Security Essentials from working, so how do I go about fixing it to where when I re-run both S&D and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, none of those malware ever show up again and gets my MSE to work again.

I've been running both programs in safe mode.

Update your Malwarebytes and scan again, It should get rid of it.
 
Or if you are using System Restore, restore your computer to a dated before the problem showed up. Otherwise, you may have to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the O/S.
 
Problem is solved.

I went to Tech Forums and they told me to run ComboFix and I did and it worked.
