spyware quake

     

SmitFrau or W32/SmitFraud.A is a type of spyware that installs itself into a computer via adware, without the user's knowledge. Most of the time, it installs itself after the computer user installs a fake codec, such as BrainCodec, PCodec or VideoKeyCodec. You may be on a completely safe site, and suddenly there will be a pop-up and it will alter your registry, disable regedit, and task manager. It is also embedded in certain programs, such as iVideo, and many downloadable music files off music sharing programs and torrents.. SmitFraud infects a Windows DLL with a computer virus , and typically changes the infected computer's desktop background into a Blue Screen of Death.
