I was/am fighting a smitfraud infection and getting a bit philosophical about it. It is karma biting me to a degree, but who are the vile wretches that put these things together? I don't really get it. If you were to buy the advertised software will it actually remove the problem? I somehow doubt it. It just doesn't seem like it is doing anything except causing trouble, but I assume that someone has to be making money off of it.

I am trying to put myself back in the old hacker mindset. Even when I was doing things to be nefarious or that may have been less than ethical, I couldn't see putting together something that is this lame. I hate to say it but, I do respect the depth and tenacity of this infection. But it should just do something more interesting.

If anyone has any insight as to how this smitfraud thing makes money or how people use it in other ways, let's discuss it so I can become educated as to who is benefitting from the many hours of tribulations that I just went through.
