thanks for your help
In case of infection with these threats it would also be listed under malware.
Additionally a normal scan with Spybot S&D would also find traces of these malware. These threats in particular depend on registry entries to get started on system boot. They are not threats that are strictly file based.
Both malware usually show false warning messages to make users download and buy rogue security software.
The heuristics scan will be more reliable with the upcoming update, but changes still have to be made.
So if in doubt about a heuristics result (after the update today), you can also submit the file to detections@spybot.info for analysis.
this kind of errors could relate to an infection, please post in the malware removal forums and follow the helpers instructions on how to provide the log files they require to estimate the source of the issues.
As you already stated this is unlikely. Hardware issues usually cause random errors, like sudden blue screens.
Would you please check the program "Wireless Migrator" from codeplex? URL listed below
http://www.codeplex.com/wlan/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=14107 > BackupWireless.exe
Spybot 1.6 latest definitions detects "Worldsecurityonline.FakeAlert" when using the context menu option and heuristics.
I believe this is a false positive.
Thanks for your feedback.
Both downloaded images mentioned above, when scanned with version 1.6 and context menu (heuristics), are said to contain Smitfraud C.
Please advise, I believe they are false+
Kind regards

Prior posts in this thread indicate that there where confirmed false positives for Smitfraud-C using the Windows Explorer right click context menu item "Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy".
However, in regards to:
All posts prior to yours are using old updates. Have you download today's updates (2008-07-16) and tried again?

Thanks for the reply. No, I have not updated def. this week but will do later today (I am away from my PC now) and post the results. Thanks again.
PS: I have another post here regarding Wireless Migrator identified with another type of malware. Perhaps the update cures that one too as I believe it should be false+

I have no problems with pop-ups, etc; and no symptoms of infection. Checked a different computer and also see no problems but both computers show this when doing a right click scan on the firefox folder; located in the program files folder. (I only checked doing it this way because of the smitfraud false positive reported in Internet explorer)
The malware scan shows nothing found; the heuristic scan shows the red caution symbol at: nsDefaultCLH.js __ Win32. Zhelatin.VG
The normal S&D scan shows no issues and neither Norton or Command anti-virus show anything.
Both computers: Windows XP sp3
S&D ver1.6 updated 7-16-08
Firefox ver.3.0.1
One computer is using Command AV ver.4.95.2
One computer is using Norton Internet Security Ver.15.5.0.23
