hey guys,

I'm having similar problems. I managed to take care of the Smart Security Background issue (don't know how), but I'm left with:

double desktop icons
inability to right-click desktop
inability to view wireless network connections!

PLEASE, any help with this would be soo much appreciated!!

I recommend checking out:
http://www.smart-security.info/removal.html

The ******** are doing a bit of illegal advertising and are just covering themselves by making out their not responsible and are willing to help.

Or if you know when you got infected try a system restore if you have xp to undo any changes made to your system.

antihijack, thanks for the suggestion. The 'removal' worked to restore my desktop icons (only one of each now too) and the right clicking works, but I'm unable to:

-actually change the desktop (under 'Properties' then 'Desktop')
-view my wireless network connections (so bizarre)

thanks to everyone for your help. If I could fix these last two issues (especially the internet problem), I'd be so grateful!

I did this, and it went away, then came back a little later. Also, when doing this you cannot change your desktop from the blue background, the main feature I want to get back the background freature that is greyed out on the desktop tab under display. I have nothing checked on WEB and my problem still persists! Any help would be usefully, this is by far the most annoying virus i've ever gotten.

My problem is very similar to everyone elses. i have removed the ads etc and am now left with a blank wallpaper.

so right click on the desktop, properties. oh? thats different, yes thats not right. Yes thanks to some furry sausage wallet i no longer have any settings. meaning i only have screensaver and setting tabs, all the others aren't there.

oh and i cant shift the yellow warning triangle in the taskbar (which likes me to buy gash software) i guess this is not a geniun warning message

if someone could advise or tell me where the little punk who made this lives it would be greatly appreaciated, im willing to do time

Cheers Jack :mad:
