qestion on smitfraud fix.

[tomrca]

i downloaded the smitfraud fix. my av prog informs me that 'freeloader smitfraud' is present in four seperate warnings. now this info box from my av prog appears each time smitfraud runs. is this normal? this has ony happened since the download and the subsequent running of the programme.

Some AV programmes flag Simitfraudfix as a virus. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned about.

See HERE for further info.

therefore should you get any warnings of changes , they should be allowed?

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.

Yes they should be allowed when running smitfraudfix.
