So, this has probably been seen a thousand times on this forum, but no matter what I do, the problem persists. I've got the annoying wallpaper thing that says my computer is infected with spyware, I need to download everything out there in order to protect it, click here for full scan, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Since this first occured, I have downloaded Spyware Doctor (which got rid of a ton of stuff, and fixed some of my problems, bless it.), as well as Malwarebites' Anti-Malware, and the SmitfraudFix tool. This problem is supposedly called the Smitfraud virus, but when I followed the instructions to get rid of it, nothing changed. Also, even time I run a scan on Spyware Doctor since getting rid of a ton of Spyware, Adware, Trojans, etc., it finds and "deletes" the same old problems...
That's not to say that all of my problems are still here. Since downloading Spyware Doctor, there have been less bogus pop-up adds, no more random internet sites, the little triangle/exclamation point comes on occasionally instead of frequently, and it's been awhile since the Abebot/TrojanDownloader has popped up. But, I really want this to be fully resolved and would appreciate it eternally for whatever help I can get!
