I run McAfee Virus Scan that identifies the Puper file. I am updated and the program does not allow me to delete the file. It instructs me to restart the computer to complete the clean process. I do and when I scan again I still find it and get pop-ups that are inappropriate for children. Can you help?

Hey Mmscort,
I know about htis program and I have deleted this of my friends computer once. Heres what I did:
Download SmitfraudFix from http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php
Then Extract the folder called SmitfraudFix to your desktop. Reboot your computer and run it in safe mode by pressing the key "F8" continously after rebooting the computer. when you are in safe mode, open the folder SmitfraudFix and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd. Select option 2-Clean by typing 2 and press enter to delete the infected files. It will ask if you want to if you want to clean the registry. Say yes by typing Y then pressing enter. This should delete the background if its infected and it should also clean the registry keys if infected.
Please post if this has any effect on your computer and if it gets rid of it.

Legend has it that... If you put an AOL disc the opposite way and play it you can hear devilish music... Even worse if you put it the right way... IT INSTALLS AOL!
