Question Posted Wednesday June 11 2008, 5:04 pm

My computer has the trojan horse virus. there are just pop ups trying to get me to buy spyware, and it is going very slow. I heard there was a way to clean out your computer to get rid of the virus. can anyone write down the steps to do so? thanks

Yep. Youve got smitfraud. Probably from a site like myspace.

If there is a window that pops up telling you to download something in order to see the page...dont click anything.

I would do a control-alt-delete shut down sequence to just turn off the computer.

Any one of the buttons (even the X button) could be the one that does the downloading...

TO fix it go here.

Scroll down just a little bit until you see the "removal instructions" in blue lettering and follow the steps. There will be a few things to download the most important of which is the smitfraudfix.exe file. So make sure you get those.

If you're not good with computers, get someone who is to follow those steps.

Ive had to fight it off several times due to people using my computer and downloading this stuff.....

I do hope you get it fixed soon.

This "virus" is a pain in the butt!
