Actually, going to bleeping and downloading the fix, it had another type of
spyware in it that both McAfee and Norton flipped out about. Spycrush is
trojan and bleeping sends me to more trojans.

SpyCrush is non-viral malware that may contain a Trojan but in itself is not a Trojan it is
though non-viral malware.

Plaese define what you mean by "...bleeping and downloading the fix, it had another type of
spyware in it that both McAfee and Norton flipped out about. "

NO FIX, and I repeat, NO FIX at BleepingComputer.Com contains *any* spyware.

Be specific in your statements or please... don't spread FUD !

The "fix" at bleepingcomputer is itself a virus and will only infect your
computer further.

As the owner of BleepingComputer.com and the writer of the guide, I thought
it would be beneficial for me to pop in here and squelch this before it gets
out of control.

SpyCrush is a rogue anti-spyware program that is typically installed without
your permission via Zlob trojans. Zlob trojans are programs that masquerade
as Windows video or audio codecs, password managers, etc but in reality do
not do anything but install this program along with other malware.

Smitfraudfix is a program designed to remove these types of programs and it
was created by a developer and security analyst named Siri. Included with
this program is a tool called process.exe that is used to kill processes.
It is a perfectly legitimate program, but as it is sometimes used by
hackers, it can be flagged by antivirus programs as a RiskTool. I repeat,
there is absolutely nothing at all malicious about this program and you
should allow it to run.

More information about process.exe and how it gets flagged when running
SmitFraudFix can be found towards the end of this link:

I hope this has helped clear up this confusion.
