| Thanks for your help but, SmitFraud gives a Warning message "your
| computer is infected with SmitFraud virus/spyware" and I never got
| such a message. I also never found any of the SmitFraud files listed
| on website about removing SmitFraud on my computer? Now with
| SmitFraud you should not be able to change their warning
| message/Screen Saver by changing the Setting in Windows Control Panel
| yet, that what I did?
|
| Ad-Aware never found SmitFraud?
|
| My problem seems to have been the Setting had just been changed from
| Classic Windows Style to the Windows XP Style. I am the only one with
| access to the computer and I didn't change the setting or click on any
| strange E-mails.
|
| Thanks Again for taking the time to help me
Thereis alctuually a family of malware that I and others relate to the SmitFraud.
The possibility of the FakeAlet, ZLob/Puper and other Trojans are associated with this type
of activitiy. While you might not have the exact message "your computer is infected with
SmitFraud virus/spyware", that is old and has been replaced by numerous messages.
Here are some web sites this family send 'ya to..
