    I ran spybot - just a routine check- an it found a bunch of stuff, one of which was Smitfraud-C. It reapired everything. I came to Majorgeeks, and performed the steps in smitfraud removal. I used SmitfraudFix. It ran ok. then I rebooted in to normal mode and two odd things happened:
    1) my desktop is now blue/green instead of the ususal windows fields
    2) Winpatrol by Bill P asked me two questions:
    a) my default webpage was being resest, did I want to allow this (No)
    b) my HOSTS was being changed from 127.0.0.1 to a blank page. (When i viewed the hosts files the old one said 127.0.0.1 the new one said nothing) I figured this was some thing Smitfraud Fix did so I accepted it - I hope I was right!

    I attached the two txt files Smitfraud fix creates, rapport1 is the search, rapport2 is the fixed.

    Question: Is everything ok now?
    Do I need to fix or set the HOSTS again?

    Nothing was really fixed by SmitFraudFix. If you want to know if you are clean or if you are just still having problems (like Spybot still finds problems) then please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
