| 591724 | 2007-09-16 08:02:00 | Yeah, I've been getting false spyware alert boxes, and my desktop has been changed to a html file saying "Warning! A spyware threat has been detected on your system. Your computer has several fatal errors due to spyware ativity. Your IP adress is 222.155.27.144 and via this Ip... blahblahblah" When I try to run task manager, it says it has been disabled by the system administrator. >:( Help please. |

| 591726 | 2007-09-16 09:04:00 | I've run Rouge Remover, and says there aren't any Rouges. As with Trojan Remover, it removed some stuff, but I still have the fake background, and the occasional false security alert. |

| 591729 | 2007-09-16 19:42:00 | you almost certainly have a version of 'smitfraud' ........google for then download and run in safe mode 'smitrem.exe'...... Not necessarily, I did one the other day and it was a different thing altogether. Same alert type pop up though. Spybot killed it. |

| 591730 | 2007-09-16 20:24:00 | A smitfraud fix (siri.geekstogo.com)/spybot (www.safer-networking.org) combo will get rid of it. With the Smitfraud fix, boot up in safe mode, and run options 1 through 3. Then reboot. Also clear out the system restore cache, and temp files. |

| 591731 | 2007-09-17 04:04:00 | I've run avast, and everything is fine apart from the fact I STILL can't run taskmanager. Running Spybot now. | Eklypse77 (12650) | ||
| 591732 | 2007-09-17 04:17:00 | Run trojan remover again and select all options under the utilities menu. Did you click on update to make sure it had been updated? |

| 591733 | 2007-09-17 04:28:00 | I've run avast, and everything is fine apart from the fact I STILL can't run taskmanager. Running Spybot now. Avast is fine for viruses. In addition you should always be running at least 2 antispyware programs. And download Boclean too for a resident program. |
