Hey Buzz?

I see alot of people are getting this Smitfraud and I was wondering if there was something out to protect us from getting it, does spywareblaster have an update for this or something? Does it change the registry because I am running my tea timer on spybot.

Spywareblaster won't help as it's installed by a "drive-by" download. I picked it up the other day from visiting a crack site, just went to the site, didn't download anything. My antivirus (Nod32) picked it up, I had to tell it to ignore it to infect myself. It does add registry entries, but I think it's to parts of the registry that Teatimer doesn't watch over. Spysweeper might stop it, I'll have to test it.
