TrojanHunter Flags SmitFraudFix as Malicious?
« on: Oct 8th, 2007, 3:29am »

If you have become infected and need to use the SmitFraudFix tool to clean your system:
 
-  TrojanHunter will flag one of the components of SmitFraudFix as a malicious element.  You will get an alert from THGuard that RiskTool.ExitProcess is present on process.exe of SmitFraudFix when you attempt to execute it.
 
This is because SmitFraudFix uses the same technique to close an infected program that malicious software uses to infect the program originally.
 
Solution:
 
Before executing SmitFraudFix, unload TrojanHunter Guard (THGuard.exe) from memory.
