S&D detects two problems continuously -- Smitfraud-C.gp and Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.TaskManager -- and says they're fixed, but then will detect it if I run it again. The problems being caused are pop-up ads and my desktop background being changed to a warning that I have spyware (this may be from Norton anti-virus warning me about it). Any ideas of what needs to be done in order for it to be permanently fixed? I have the latest version of S&D and immunized my system properly.

Hello :)

Please download the latest copy of HijackThis from Trend Micro (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe) and save it to your desktop.
Double click on HJTInstall.exe to install it. Click on Install. By default, it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
Read through the License Agreement presented to you on the next screen and click on I Accept.
Once installed, HijackThis will start automatically. If it doesn't, please go to your desktop and double click on the HijackThis shortcut created there.
Select Do a system scan and save a logfile.
Close HijackThis.

Note: Do not click on the AnalyzeThis button.

Do not fix any lines you see in HijackThis as most entries are harmless and needed for the normal functioning of Windows.
