Hello there!
I only recently have installed SBSD, in addition to AdAware which I've been using for years.
A complete scan with the tool shows up nothing but some harmless cookies, but when I want to play a game on Steam, say Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat or whatever else I get a "SBSD found a process that's been identified as part of a malware" (translated from German so perhaps not 100% accurate)
hl2.exe - Smitfraud-C.
I have since done full scans with Avast and AdAware too, they find nothing. Does Smitfraud have the ability to somehow attach itself to game files like the hl2.exe (that's the exe powering all games that use the Source graphics engine - HalfLife2, Portal, TF2 etc etc etc) or is this maybe a false alarm?
I have since allowed one of them to run and did a scan afterwards and it seems no new disturbances turned up... So... Should I be worried or not? ^^
