Smitfraud c detected in Foxit Reader

[phil66]

After downloading and installing Foxit Reader spybot search and destroy found smitfraud c in the registration.exe

Registration.exe does exist in the path given by spybot.

Are you aware of any problems in the subject file.

Thanks

I don't think registration.exe has anything whatsoever to do with Foxit. Where did you get your copy of the program?

I've never heard of a file called registration.exe in combination with foxitreader.

The subject registration.exe file was in the Creator plug-in

When opened it was a file to register your program

Is Creator a 3rd Party or a Foxit issued plug-in

Anyway deleted same all spybot scans now clean.

Still interested on knowing why smitfraud c part of the foxit system.

Yes, there is a registration.exe file in creator for registration. Is there any problem with it?

[phil66]

Spybot search and destroy found the registration.exe file and listed it as spyware and or Trojan

The infection was smitfraud c in:

c:\documents and settings\username\localsettings\temp\registration. exe

Registration.exe also found in c:\program file\foxit\creator

I was able to clean my computer using a number of programs

Question is why is smitfraud c in this registration file.:1_29:
