system doctor

[Gigsley]

hey. i'm getting this error message that randomly pops up when i'm using explorer and it looks like a typical windows error message but i'm suspicious of it. the message says
Notice:if your computer has errors in the registry database of file system, it could cause unpredictable or erratic behavior, freezes and crashes. fixing these errors can increase your computer's performance and prevent data loss.
would you like to install system doctor and check your computer for free?(recommended)

is this a spyware? and how do i get rid of it?

Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip to your Desktop.
Extract all the files to your Destop. A folder named SmitfraudFix will be created on your Desktop.


Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press Enter
This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works. When it is done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Post this log also.
