"WARNING! YOUR SYSTEM IS VULNERABLE TO HACKERS' ATTACKS AND BREAKDOWNS!"

[DannerSwa]

My home page is corrupted by this website:
http://www.topsecuritysite.com/

I cant load my home page whether I click the button or type it
manually. I figured how to avoid it, but not get rid of it. It claims
to tell me that my system is infected with spyware and the only way to
get rid of it is to pay and download these specific programs:

Malware Wipe
Pest Trap
The Spy Guard
Brave Sentry
AD Protect

I have searched for other cases and came up with other situations using
different site domain names with the same or different software.
Another person actually paid for a program and still persisted to have
problems. So I know that I can't trust the software.

I know I'm infected, but don't know how to clense my system.

I thought I found a solution when I read another case where the helper
gave the victim this link:
http://www.precisesecurity.com/computer-virus/avmyzor-may01.htm

It tells you that you have to download Webroot or something but you
also have to pay for it.

Is there no end to this? Can anyone shed any light on my situation?

A severe virus or malware attack mandates a complete "clean install".
Why? Read the following:

You are the victim of the one of the smitfraud variants. Most of these can
be cleaned but the malware authors are constantly updating their "product"
so any or all of the following links may not work. If none of the procedures
at the links below work post back with details of what you tried.

Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites.

The following links will take you to vendors sites for Spy Ware / Ad
ware removal tools and also for Antivirus tools. After you install any
of these applications and update them, run them in SAFE MODE to allow
them to properly clean your system.

First, make sure that your Java is updated to the latest version:
http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

These sites are for downloading Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware tools, in
order that I would use them myself:

Dave Lipman's tools:
http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html
http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm

Secured2K's AntiPauper (download link/info at)
http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=65072

You can also download Symantec Trial version of their Antivirus software
from here:
http://www.symantec.com/downloads/

DON'T FORGET TO UPDATE THEN AND THEN RUN THEM IN SAFE MODE.

It is very pernicious spyware. Keep a close watch for it returning. Make
sure you uninstall all versions of java except for the latest.
