Thank you for your warm welcome to this site. Is there a free RKILL download?

[LEKKAlexander]

I, like many others, have been hit with Smart HDD, what a nightmare! Can anyone tell me if RKILL has a free download, all I seem to find is one that wants to charge. I can't seem to move past the first step and my computer is running haywire. Any and all assistance would be most appriciated. Im not very technical but trying real hard to resolve this issue myself.

Thank you, I will try it. The last time I tried it kept opening in another window which was requesting payment. I will let you know how it pans out for me. Many thanks!

Hello and welcome LEKKAlexander,
RKILL is free and easy to download:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill
Also Malwarebytes with Chameleon and HitmanPro with ForceBreach both have similar functions that you can use to terminate malicious process....

When I hit the download the window comes up to run, I hit run and it appears the computer is going to start running the program but then nothing happens. I tried to save it but it doesn't even give me the option based on what this virus has done to my computer. What can I do now?
