first of all, i know VERY little about computers so im not familiar with the jargon.

now the problem: my desktop has been replaced with the message informing me that my pc is infected with the trojan spy smit fraud virus.

i haven't been able to remove it so far, but i did obviously manage to make it on to the internet and i found something called xoftspy which claims it will take care of my viruses and spyware. will it work? if not, what will?

thanks in advance

um...i can't get the window to open with the condition my pc is in, unless its the mcafee window that popped up. but im not sure what to do with that

Download HijackThis and post a logfile:

• Download HijackThis.
• Create a folder named "HijackThis". To create a folder:
  • Go to My Documents.
  • Right-click and select New> Folder.
  • Name the folder as "HijackThis".
• Extract the contents of hijackthis.zip into the folder you've just created.
• Open HijackThis.exe
• Click on "Do a system scan and save a logfile".
• After the scan is complete a Notepad window will popup.
• In the Notepad window, go to Edit> Select all and then Edit> Copy.
• Paste the log into your next reply.

Do NOT fix anything until we check your log. You can cause serious damage to your operating system if you fix a valid entry.
