It shows up on the anti-spy as "darksma" and if I delete it it just comes back. Also my anti-virus finds "fraudtool.win32.xpAntivirus" but if I tell it to do anything it it just says "can't preform operation target has changed name". Any help? I tried searching but couldn'treally find anything that helped much...and I know there are some internet/computer guru's out there. I think my daughter picked this up from myspace...but not sure.

Try starting the comp in safe mode, then run the scan. Tends to work better.
-
Google them up and see what the removal process is. You might also invest in a anti-virus program. Some are free.

Give it to all the hotards and picktards

I've heard that virus comes from www.sweetmothersgotmounds.com, not myspace.

when trying to remove a virus always start by disconnecting from the jack. Find the file and remove it. This can sometimes take a bit of time, as after each removal you need to scan again as there is usually a couple of things placed about that only show up as each piece of the puzzle is removed. I always try to remove them manually as, although there are good anti virus programs I don't think they always get rid of them. Also make sure you remove it from your recycle bin before running you scan again.

Damn right you stop surfing pron! I had to spend my entire evening reinstalling everything on the computer because SOMEONE was looking at pron at less than reputable sites, not 4chan like what everybody else uses, for the FOURTH time! Plus I forgot to keep the AH install file! So stop going to pokedbymen.com because they are no good!

71 strokes werent enuff...ya had to go for 1 more!

Well honestly I don't go to pron sites....they are pointless because if I am going to look at a naked woman I better be able to touch her. That and I am very good looking with lots of money so if I wants me some I go gets me some...know what I am saying???
Ok back to the problem:
It won't let me restart in safe mode. When I do try I get a flash of script across the screen then it just reboots normally
When I search for that file I can never find it.
It has turned off my auto updates and I can't manually turn it back on.
I'll DL spybot search and destroy

go online and look up a program called BOOTZILLA. it will allow you to create a massive boot disk that includes multiple tools on the boot disk. it will help you boot up and start to run the scan and clean up programs you need to solve your problem.
also if you are using a microsoft OS, send their tech guys and email with the name and a brief description of what the bug is doing. if their is a way to fix it they will know it.
GOOD LUCK and keep us posted

Hmm I surf XXX sites frequently but never manage to pick up anything. How is it that people who complain about this stuff always seem to surf using IE? Weird pattern there.

Two free pieces of software that many pros rate very, very high...
PC Tools Threatfire: Real time protection against day-one infections. Doesn't compare files to a database, but looks at your computer's activity and stops malware dead in its tracks. Cutting edge technology. Rated 5 stars.
PC Tools antivirus: One of the top 5 rated.
Both are absolutely free and are updated daily, within 5 minutes of starting your machine.
One suggestion though, shut down the antivirus before playing AH2. Right click on the icon in the system tray and click "Shut Down". Restart later using the desktop shortcut. You can leave Threatfire running while playing, it doesn't scan packets and uses little resources. Threatfire will block know bad sites and prevent known threats from infecting your machine as well as stopping day-one threats (the kind that don't show up in antivirus updates for a week or two).
Many will have their favorites, but PC Tools offers the best protection in terms of free software.
My regards,
Widewing
