    Hello,

    When one has an infected machine it is best to do as little surfing as possible.

    Default Please read

    This PC is my Girlfriends who Im trying to help bc it got infected when my brother was surfing for the first time. The problem is that she's going to terminate her internet service and I dont think I'll be able to fix it alone. Im a complete novice when it comes to computers, but I can follow instructions.

    Please Help

    Don't worry, a malware specialist will assist you in the Malware Removal Forums and purge the malicious threats from the machine.

    They are responsible for bombaring (maybe a little exaggerating) your desktop with ads. The thing about this trojan is that pop-blockers are unable to suppress it because it is not from the web, its coming from the trojan/system itself.

    SmitFraud is notorious for it's rogue software. Like "XPAntiVirus Pro" to name one.

    They're both trojans, and like Tashi said, try to keep surfing to minimum because the trojan might download more junk.

    Just have some patience. One weekends, it might be a little slower because of the number of requests.

    Just note that we all have real-lives and problems that we deal with. So we're not here 24/7.

    Welcome to the Forum.

    Using someone else Solutions could SERIOUSLY trash your machine so please don't do it.

    If your having Malware trouble please post in the Malware Removal forum and read all the stickies before posting
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
