apparently smitfraud hadn’t removed all the malicious files the first time. i recommend you to try removing Brave Sentry manually. here are removal instructions: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-brave-se…
all you need to do is find the malicious files on your computer and delete them.

Your computer has a Smitfraud infection. Any “warnings” are fradulant and a scam.
The standard tool to remove this pest is SmitfraudFix. The full removal procedure and the free removal tool is here:http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix…
Almost all “general purpose”,”all-in one” spyware and virus removal programs such as AVG, Norton, or Spybot S & D cannot remove it.
If it is in system restore:
System Volume Information is where your System Restore files are located. Therefore, the malware is in your System Restore files which are basically locked by Windows so your security software cannot touch it, to remove the infected file.
The solution is easy. You simply need to delete all your old system restore points. To do so:
go to control panel > system > system restore > check mark “Turn off system restore on all drives” > apply > answer “yes” > OK > reboot. Then turn System Restore back on again.
