Think I've removed S.M.A.R.T HDD?

[JamesDavey]

Hi,

I've followed an online video to remove what I think is HDD S.M.A.R.T malware from my computer, although the desktop icon actually named it 'data recovery'.

I've removed (i think) the problem, and downloaded a seperate programme to unhide all of my desktop icons.

The video suggested I download and run malwarebytes software (my existing security software expired some time ago). Whilst downloading the programme I've come across this forum suggesting I run DDS, and post the two logs.

I'm hoping everything is back to normal now, I can buy some new virus protection, and give myself a slap on the wrist for not upgrading last time!!

Thank You

James
