Virus Warning: S.M.A.R.T. Data Recovery Scam

[drelly]

I don't normally post things like this here but this virus is a nasty piece of work. I've spent all morning fixing my PC after it got around my AVG. It's quite clever in how it tries to extract a credit card number from you. Looks pretty convincing too!
I've written an article about How to Remove the Data Recovery Virus here.

Thanks for that - any idea where it came from?

I got a virus alert popping up from a website I visited. Unfortunately, the proverbial hit the fan so fast that I forgot what it was! I've seen three infected websites in the last 3 weeks. That's more than I've seen in the previous few years!
