Users of Windows XP have been hit with a new, updated version of the classic smitfraud virus, which attaches itself to various programs and files on your PC or netbook. Unfortunately, this one isn't as easy to eradicate as the older versions and has converted many PCs into expensive door stops.
Usually this scourge of the PCs is linked to a notice that pops up on your computer warning you that you have a virus on your computer. It tells you to "click here" to remove it and, once you click, you're cooked. The pop up is usually linked to a website that guarantees removal of the virus -- for a fee, of course. Unfortunately the so-called virus killer is to viruses as an empty glass is to thirst and you end up spending your hard earned bucks on something that doesn't work.
