Smart Fortress 2012

This rogue is pretty easy to remove. First, it is sometimes easier to have the aid of a product key, so here it is:

AA39754E-715219CE 

If you are unable to register it, you can stop it with little work.

Copy "C:\Windows\regedit.exe" to the desktop

Copy "C:\Windows\System32\taskmgr.exe" to the desktop

Rename "regedit.exe" to "explorer.exe"

Launch your renamed regedit and locate and delete:

HKCU\Software\Classes\.exe
HKCU\Software\Classes\%s
HKCU\Software\Classes\529C5

Close regedit and delete or rename the "regedit.exe" that you renamed to "explorer.exe".

Rename "taskmgr.exe" to "explorer.exe" and then open it

Find the process and kill it. Then run a full scan with MalwareBytes'. This one puts a file in system restore so you can avoid a full scan by clearing the restore points before scanning. Remember, make sure system restore is enabled once removal is completed to protect yourself.
