I downloaded and ran a file, thinking it was an active x control, which then infected my computer, with a spy ware program - Virus heat - which solicits it’s self as a system program, and that it has found a virus trojan.spywin32@mx and thus commanding you to download a specific program that will fix the problem!!

It Add’s three desktop short cuts / 2 in your program start up panel and Hijacks you web browser!! This is a Spy ware program!

Undetected by my copy of Norton,
I then ran Adaware, Spybot search and destroy, Ccleaner and AVG free antivirus

All of which found elements of the issue but didn’t resolve it,
I then came across this;

ran the

SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) As directed
Which sorted it out a treat!!! Thank you MFDnSc (and all other post-ers)

My question is this?????
Once this Spy Program has been eradicated from your PC by the above program. What are the ramifications of this? - Virus heat - Plague !!

The creators of which, I which a slow and pain full END !!!!

Having just been told,” that these day’s the only way to ensure there is no adverse effects (such data being passed on) is a system rebuild (reinstall XP).
As these day’s, mal ware programs could still be present, recording key stroke’s ect without you knowing it! Even having used programs such as the SmitfraudFix programs “
Is this true ?
This is a thanking post, to all the people out there who take the time to reply to peoples questions! For the many times you have helped me!
