Hi there guys, im currently experiencing a few problems with spyware.

I downloaded a program called 'windows live onecare' from the microsoft site and it seems to be working fine apart from one problem when i load up internet explorer my homepage is automatically set to http://www.safetyuptodate.net/ telling me about how my private information is open to all other computers, it then lists an IP address and other info yet its not even the right details for my computer so its nothing worrying me too much. Anyway when i set my homepage back to google it re-sets itself every time.

I just wondered could anyone help me out? have you had this problem before?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi mikeyboi, please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

Hi Chiawaikian, i got to the part where you said "Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd" but when i opened the smitfraudfix file it only had the following files inside.

Genericrenos fix
restart
Swreg
Process
smitfraudfix
swsc
reboot
srchSTS

Now, one of these could be the file your talking about but i'll just wait for your reply to be on the safe side.

Thanks for your help so far.

smitfraudfix will be the one.

Here is the text file you were talking about.

Does anyone know the next step that Chiawaikian is going to get me to do?
