| A security warning keeps popping up on my computer and it brings me to the
| spydawn website. I can't get rid of it. How can I get rid of the alert?
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

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.
