I was joking around and went on an adult web site which asked to clikc a pic
to see a video. After clicking it, I kept getting pop up windows ( not like
internet windows but the kind that have "ok" and "cancel" at the bottom)
telling me that some anti-virus software (not the kind I purchased) have
detected all of these worms and viruses. Well, I did a system check with MY
anti-virus scanner and no corrupted or potentially dangerous files were found
( I did a FULL system check). Now, in the bottom right hand corner on the
screen ( like where the volume and time are located) i get a bubble that pops
up almost every 5 min. stating that a virus or worm was found on my computer,
and to click the balloon to quarrentine that file. I have also gone through
and deleted the FAKE anti-virus programs from the add/remove programs section
of the control panel. PLEASE HELP!

It is called a SmitFraud Trojan !



Two part reply..

Perform Part 1 then perform Part 2.

If the first two parts don't work, perform the alternate section.

It is suggested that you execute each tool in Normal Mode then in Safe Mode.



Part 1
-----------

Use noahdfear's SmitFraud, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, et. al., removal tool -- SmitRem.exe
http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click counter/click.php?id=1

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43659.html


Part 2
-----------

Download SmitFraud.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/SmitFraud.exe

Execute; SmitFraud.exe { Note: You must accept the default of C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to enable WGET.EXE to download the needed McAfee related files.

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML or
C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the end of the scan, it will be
displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer). However, if you are using
WinXP, Win2K or Win2003 your system will be left in a state where you will have to manually
shutdown/reboot the PC. On Win9x/ME platforms the report will not be shown in your bowser
but your PC will automatically be shutdown. It is suggested that you move the report out of
c:\mcafee before performing another scan.

It would be best to scan in both Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy of the HTML
report for each session.


ALTERNATE:

S!ri's SmitfraudFix
