I've been having a major problem with this anti virus xp 2008 but I managed to get rid of it today. Now my google results are redirecting can anyone help? The virus was something called smitfaurd or something. I have windows defender, spy bot search and destroy, hijack this and some others. Spy bot comes up with altnet which has never caused a problem before and it keeps coming up with microsoft.windowsSecurityCenter.antivirusoverride.I've tried fixware out with no luck :/ Please help me take this out!

The problem you have with Spybot detecting something is not a big one. It is simply Spybot's opinion that a certain setting is not good, so it detects it. This is easily set later.
However, I'm more interested in your malware problem. You said that it was Smitfraud? Have you run SmitfraudFix? If not, please follow the following instructions:
1. Go here and download SmitfraudFix. Extract all the files to your desktop, it will create the folder SmitfraudFix.
2. Restart your computer in Safe Mode. (Press F8 at boot, select "Safe Mode" and press Enter)
3. Open the folder Smitfraudfix on your desktop and double-click on smitfraudfix.cmd. "Enter your Choice: (1,2,3,4,L,Q):" Select option 2. Wait for process to finish. (If prompted for: Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry? Press Y, for Yes).
4. It will check if your wininet.dll file is damaged, if so it will ask you to "Replace Infected File?" Press Y as Yes and press Enter.
Please also give more information on how you removed Antivirus XP 2008.
