I've currently got Smitfraud on my system and can't get the frickin thing out. It's one of those fake spyware pop-ups. I've scanned and removed it twenty times and it's still there.

Lock the bastard up for life!

Fwiw, this forum can help.

SWI Forums

Have patience, they're volunteers. They can help you get rid of it.

I’m in the same boat with AVG. It scans, tells me it’s all “healed” and then 500 cookies are deposited on my computer within seconds.

Even with cookies disabled (which also keeps me from FReeping) and even when I’m offline - with the modem disconnected and even the phone unplugged - it’s prompting my puter to connect constantly and I can’t even get regular computer chores done.

Had to do my only online bill-paying today by phone. These people who do this should be shot!
