About SmartBrowser
SmartBrowser is a browser hijacker controlled by smart-browser.com. It opens pop-up ads from porn sites( extremelybabes.com and extremelyamateurs.com), and redirects attempted use of other porn sites to these sites instead. (Caution: these sites may attempt to load premium-rate diallers.)
It also sends spam messages from your computer to Yahoo! Chat using automatically generated account names. Currently these messages are promoting the same two porn sites.
