My computer has become infected with a trojan called "spy.win32@mx". It has put a "Security Toolbar 7.1" on my tool bar in Internet Explorer. It keeps giving me pop ups sayinying my computer is infected and when I click on the pop up it goes to a website by "Virusheat". I have McAfee but it does not seem to find it. How do I get rid of this???? Thanks in advance

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe.
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.
Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
