Smitfraud

[cj21]

Sorry guys this is not an Excel problem, but i don't know who to ask.

When i load up Explorer and connect to the internet it comes up with a different homepage telling me that i am in danger:

http://www.yoursystemupdate.com/

I have run spywhere softwhere and it finds something called Smitfraud. It won't get rid of it.

Anyone know how to get rid of it?

I suggest that you get a copy of HijackThis,
http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3...-10227353.html, run it to
produce a log, and then post the log at
http://www.techsupportforum.com/forum50/ and explain your problem there.
