    Your computer has a Smitfraud infection.

    Almost all "general purpose","all-in one" spyware and virus removal programs such as AVG, Norton, or Spybot S & D cannot remove it. A specialised removal tool is almost always needed.

    I would use SmitFraudFix for WinXP, Win2K. It's free.

    "This tool removes Desktop Hijack malware: AdwarePunisher, AdwareSheriff, AlphaCleaner, Antispyware Soldier, AntiVermeans, AntiVermins, AntiVerminser, AntivirusGolden, AVGold, BraveSentry, MalwareWipe, MalwareWiped, MalwaresWipeds, MalwareWipePro, MalwareWiper, PestCapture, PestTrap, PSGuard, quicknavigate.com, Registry Cleaner, Security iGuard, Smitfraud, SpyAxe, SpyCrush, SpyDown, SpyFalcon, SpyGuard, SpyHeal, SpyHeals, SpyLocked, SpyMarshal, SpySheriff, SpySoldier, Spyware Vanisher, Spyware Soft Stop, SpywareLocked, SpywareQuake, SpywareKnight, SpywareSheriff, SpywareStrike, Startsearches.net, TitanShield Antispyware, Trust Cleaner, UpdateSearches.com, Virtual Maid, VirusBlast, VirusBurst, Win32.puper, WinHound..."

    Your computer is infected with a trojan called Zlob. Zlob hijacks your homepage to some fake security website (like protectstand.com) and generates warning messages to try and get you to buy SpyCrush. Of course it is important to get rid of SpyCrush, but its just as important to also remove the Zlob Trojan that implanted it there. In my experience, a program called SpyNoMore is your best bet in removing the Zlob trojan. By removing this trojan, you will also get rid of SpyCrush. Another symptom of Zlob Trojan is that it generates fake warning messages like:

    System Alert

    Critical System Error

    System Performance monitor warning

    Security Alert: NetWorm-i.Virus@fp

    Security Warning: SpyBot@MXt trojan

    W32.Myzor.FK@yf
