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 after a computer user installs a spurious codec, such as BrainCodec, PCodec or VideoKeyCodec. It is also embedded in certain programs, such as iVideo, and many downloadable music files from music sharing programs and torrents. SmitFraud infects a Windows DLL with a computer virus, and typically changes the infected computer's desktop background into a Blue Screen of Death. SmitFraud is now being used to term infections wherein users receive fake alerts from software luring the user into installing some affiliated fake/rogue anti-spyware with or without user's knowledge.
