I now realise I hadn't noticed the tick boxes the first time around, and so had agreed to have all that junk installed on my computer at the same time. These all had date and time of when I'd run Smart Defrag.Ĭurious now, I did the same on another computer that also had Smart Defrag version 2 installed, and lo, after a minute or so it quit and presented me with the screen shown in the attachment.
I uninstalled the programs, reset the settings, ran Malwarebytes on the system and it found several other things in the temp folder, including one it reckoned was a Fake antivirus program. It had installed Advance System Care, A Browser Toolbar, changed my default search engine to Yahoo (with a spigot referrer), installed several Spigot Programs, and 3 browser plugins for Ebay, Amazon and DNS lookup failure redirect! I clicked the OK button and then saw lots of other things appearing. Today I ran it to do that very thing, and after a minute or so the program disappeared, and I saw a notice telling me I'd been automatically upgraded to version 3. However, it doesn't defrag some system files, and I found that Smart Defrag can do this at boot time if you ask it to, so I occasionally use this program.
