Spybot does detect Smitfraud but it depends on it's version if it will remove it or not.

The link below will remove Smitfraud (it's free) once done see if you get any pop ups if not then switch off your system restore for c: reboot then switch on system restore. This si done just in case any file from Smitfraud are hiding in your system restore files.

becky norton won't pick stuff up like that i had norton on my comp and it let all sorts onto the comp, 2007 noton i found was rubbish it got that bad the comp completly locked up and i had to reinstall the whole of xp from scratch i now run avg and had no probs what so ever. another thing you could try is windows safty scanner, it runs sraight from microsofts website but be warned the first time i used it it took about 4 hours but it cleans the regestry and scans for virus and unwanted programmes

I don't understand that bit, sorry, explain to a numpty please

At the moment I have just had a popup at the top reappear.
Spybot is also busy about every 10 seconds as it is trying to change the registry but is blacklisted.

OMG i LOVE YOU. That is Fabulous, ive had 12 months of those pop ups!!!!!!

How did you get it to work?
I've run it, but don't know what to do now?

Yes I tried it too, and it just froze when it asked me which option to choose

I just tried a number at a time. i DO have two back today but nowhere near as bad as they were

You choose what option you want to clean even if you ran all of them one by one it wouldn't hurt.

The link is another free smitfraud removel tool Smitfraud removel tool

After you have run the removal tools turn off your system restore this will delete all your saved system settings and get rid of any hidden infected files in your restore folder so any hidden trogens don't regenerate themselves from system restore.

Once you you have rebooted after switching off system restore switch it back on again and make a new resotre point.

Hopefully you will now be pop up free i have not used these tools as i have paid software that protects my system but the first link i provided that was reconmended by Wikpedia

Enter what option you want and press enter

I dont really undrstand about system restore...i need a idiot guide!
