Was trying to get a knitting yatn conversion chart and tried these two sites, 2.nbwtejr.info/44html and 6qbjoptsc.info/91.html.
Both sent me to window that asked if my computer was running slower than usual, could they run a check. I clicked cancel but it ran it anyway and then told me I had some trojan horses to be deleted but I needed to download a file from Windows alert first.There was no Windows symbol on the page so was suspicious. I had to click on several exits to get rid of it. Am I being paranoid?I have Spybot and Adaware and AVG.

Contraviruspro uses out-of-date ref database and deceptive scan reporting. It is listed as a Rogue/Suspect Anti-Virus Product. As long as you did not download the program, you should be reasonably secure.

Your computer now has a Smitfraud infection.

"ContraVirus is a rogue anti-spyware application that is known to be installed on your computer without permission by Trojans. Once installed this software will supposedly scan your computer for malware, and report back what is found. In order to remove anything it finds, though, you must first purchase the full commercial version of the software."

"The scan results ContraVirus reports are fake and exaggerated and are used as a scare tactic to have you purchase the full version of the software. To make matters worse, the program actually installs two fake files, named c:\WINDOWS\wincom27.dll and c:\WINDOWS\system\ext32inc.dll, on your computer and states that they are malware when in reality they are perfectly harmless. It goes without saying that under no circumstances should you purchase this software, but instead remove it and the malware that installed it immediately."
