I had the "S.M.A.R.T. Data Recovery" virus. I removed most of it with RogueKiller, and recovered my files with Unhide.exe. However, I still have something lingering that plays commericals in the background by launching an explorer process to connect to a remote website. If more is going on behind the scenes (probably is), I don't know what. Malwarebytes can't find anything more, Avira says it detects hidden objects and a hidden process, and recommends using a rescue disk. The rescue disk doesn't find anything when run. GMER doesn't find anything. However, Malwarebytes does detect the virus trying to connect to a remote computer and blocks it (usually, sometimes the commercials still play). Also, the virus attempts to hijack google searches, but NoScript blocks that. Anyway, my logs are in the following posts.
