Did not unzip/install it. Counterspy reported it as a Trojan dropper, so I removed it. If C/S gave a false positive, I'd like to know. TIA -- wolf k.

TIA -- I have a copy of smitfraudfix and I've had the same problem where one of my AV's sees it as malware, but it's a false positive in my case. I haven't heard of smitfraudremove.exe specifically though, so check it out. Maybe you can submit it to Counterspy for examination?

Ah, my bad, it was smitfraudfix - didn't write down the name before deleting it, and my memory played false. Sorry. Thanks for the info. -- wolf k. Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor David H.

Smitfraudfix is the best single purpose program for getting rid of the smitfraud virus and their variants. I have found multiple av pick it up as a trojan however.
