Answer 1

SmitFraud 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 following the computer user installs a spurious codec, such as BrainCodec, PCodec or VideoKeyCodec. It is also embedded in certain programs, such as iVideo, and much downloadable music files off music sharing programs and torrents.[1]. SmitFraud infects a Windows DLL with a computer virus [2], and typically changes the infected computer's desktop background into a Blue Screen of Death. SmitFraud is now being used to term [3] infections wherein users receive fake alerts from software luring the user into installing some affiliated Fake / Rogue AntiSpyware with or without user's knowledge.
