I would not really on it for protection but when it comes to removal it can help. Spybot S&D and smitfraudfix as mentioned above are great programs as well. One other tool for vundo is Vundofix. It is a free tool from atribune.org and works about 40% of the time to remove vundo. Also doing a system restore is a good method to remove registry enties from the likes of win XP antivirus 2008. Too bad you did not have a restore point before the date of the infection Malwarebytes is good stuff. I would not really on it for protection but when it comes to removal it can help.

The first time I came across this I had a ton of problems removing it. Now whenever I run into this I do a system restore first then run the free smitfraudfix tool and then run a full scan with Spyware Doctor. If you have Smitfraud I can gurantee you are infected with other threats as well and that is way you need to use other software besides just the smitfraud fix tool. I also ran malware bytes reccomend above and am glad to report it does remove Smitfraud and Vundo. It did leave traces of Virtumonde on a system but not too shabby. Smitfraud is definelty bad stuff.
