The past few days Ive been surfing the net a lot more. I must have traveled along some bad sits becauses theres spyware all over my computer and its taking over. Its been hi-jacking my web settings- eg. changing my homepage, changining othe rsetting such as "Never dial up connection etc. Theres an item in the taskbar that is making my computer run extra slow and theres no way I can get rid of it. I right clicking the item first up. No luck. Task manager wont close it, used easy cleaner to stop ot from starting up but it changed setting so I couldnt remove it etc. The item is a STOP sign that periodically changes to a question mark. It displays a message that "I'm infected" and opens a page to- http://www.topsecuritysite.net/ Although it poses as something trying to help me, I'm sure its the source of all this. I'm running Zone Alarm Security suite, conterspy and ewido anti-malware and they don't identify it as a threat.

Hi You all, Especially you CR3AT10N and andy2000 andy2000, Please Download SmitfraudFix.zip to your desktop -> http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip Unzip it (folder named SmitFraudFix) to your desktop: Open the folder SmitfraudFix and doubleclick smitfraudfix.cmd Choose option #1 - Search by typing 1 and pressing "Enter"; a textfile opens and lists the infected files (if those exist) Post the contents of this textfile to here. (Some antiviruses recognises process.exe as a malware. It is not malware, it is a program that stops processes) Send a fresh hijack log and rapport.txt
Too late. I'm writing from my cousins computer. The virus crashed my hard drive and now my computers in for repairs. Oh well, I know exactly what caused it and I wont go to the site that did it again.
andy2000 Would you like to share the root of your problem with us...it could save someone else the aggravation you have suffered.It might even help one of the people who tried to help you!
Yup, its all fixed up. Back on my computer now. The site that caused this problem was theserialz.com, my advice, dont ever go to it. EVER! I was trying to get a serial number for Microsoft word because I lost the one it came with. I think I should have just called custormer service haha. Ok so thanks for your help, and remember never go to that site or any other serial site for that matter.
Although your case is severe I would not blame it on theserialz.com for the fact that users send in the serials to the site. They choose what is in the files avaiable for use. You must be more careful when trying to "crack" something. Next time scan the file before you attempt to open it. I use theserialz and others often and I must say that over 70% of the files on those sites are infected but I guess that the price to pay to get soemthing free.
What do you mean by files? I didnt really download anything. I just displayed the serial on screen as text. How would I go about scanning before it looked at them first. Thanks
About how long did it take to crash from the time you visited that site? I use it often but only problem I have with a text serial is tracking cookies. My antivirus always picks them out as soon as I recieve them.
Well after I went to the site I noticed that icon I first mentioned. My spyware programs didnt detect it and three days later my computer crashed.
