Try Trendmicro Housecall scan. It'll find the trojan and delete it too. Other free scans will only find it and then ask you to pay to eliminate it.

Another is hijackthis although it requires a bit of work and know-how on your part.

I'll warn you right now that there is a LOT of bad shit going around. A lot of mainstream sites are getting hacked & loaded with code that will give you a trojan\virus-and I mean mainstream-as in MSNBC.

It's most likely a trojan. If so, anti-spyware apps won't do shit, and as I'm learning the hard way at the office-many anti virus apps won't either.

NASTY SHIT!

The above instructions will ask you to download a simple program that is specific for removing SmitFraud

It does not require you to download any more in-depth anti-spyware programs

Oh, and so you don't get it again, do not, when surfing certain porn sites, agree to download any kind of "special viewer that's needed to view these great XXX clips..."

Don't be embarrassed. It's happened to the best of us.

Bottom line on surfing porn videos...if it won't play automatically in Windows Media Player or via Flash Video (as in Redtube.com etc) then DO NOT try and run the videos.

Final note...You should be able to run the Smitfraud fix without opening in Safe Mode.

Save the program to your My Documents (or wherever)

Open the program and then follow the instructions as in the above link.

This will most likely get worse before it gets better. I really think it's being downplayed by the media, but it's BAD (It did make the front page of USAtoday yesterday, but they didn't explain just exactly how fucking bad this really is).

p.s. Running out for an hour or so
