Yes, it is possible, run a scan. AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Spybot, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info
Yes, absolutely. Trojan Zlob which then downloads a Smitfraud infection.



Phony pop-up alert boxes, background changes or "balloon" pop-ups from the tray (by the clock) about a trojan, virus or spyware infection and the attempt to sell you some useless software to "fix" the problem usually indicates that your computer has a Smitfraud infection. It is really extortion-ware, first they infect your machine, then they want $$$ to remove it.



Sounds like your computer may have a variant of this ubiquitous Smitfraud infection.
