I recently figured out that my computer was attacked by the Smitfraud spyware/virus or some variant....Have already run a few of the removal programs and used Panda AntiVirus in safe mode....found a bunch and deleted them all....
Auto Update is off.

When I use Internet explorer it randomly opens a Security alert page or after a page fully loads it'll all the sudden be blank. I have to click STOP so I can even read a page....again this is an intermittent problem it seems....
