This infection changes your desktop to display an alert in an attempt to persuade you to purchase spyware removal software. It also edits your registry to prevent you from changing your desktop.
Follow these steps in to remove Smitfraud and restore your desktop.
If you have lost access to your desktop and task bar it is because smitfraud has infected your wininet.dll file. In this case you may be able to access explorer via your task manager and then run these steps.
