Hello yesterday at around midnight I decided to leave my computer on for a scan. I had no suspicion, everything was working great, fast, no pop ups or anything in that matter, until I woke up in the morning and saw all the Browser problems which isn't a big deal, but then I saw Smitfraud C Generic as a Trojan! I got very scared because I don't know how it got here, I have an Antivirus, a good one. My computer doesn't act different or feel different. My question is should I be worried, or what should I do. I ran Spybot once again today and it didn't find anything. So does that mean its gone? Or can this Smitfraud thing still be in my computer.

Thanks Spybot Team!

Hello audioskater2,

" I saw Smitfraud C Generic as a Trojan". Where did you see that, did it show in the results of the Spybot-S&D scan log (at the top), as a detection?

Best regards. :)

You know how you click Search & Destroy then you click check for problems. After that was done, it listed stuff. Under "Kind" it wrote Trojan, and under "Problem" it wrote Smitfraud C Generic. I pushed Fix All Selected Items. It got fixed, I scanned it again. It didn't show up. Maybe it isn't anything to worry about.

Hi audioskater2,

Sounds like the issue was fixed. :)
