I am not sure if I am in the correct forum/ I am trying to download
a game software. When I do it gives me the following error message.

"Smartdownload has casued an error in Smartdownload.exe
Smartdownload will now close. If the problem continues try restarting
your computer".

Upon rebooting I also get this error message:

"Cannot find Script file C\Windows\temp\net\net\.js

ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!

You may already have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:
http://www.intermute.com/products/cwshredder.html
(download it without the accompanying rubbish)

download AdAware SE Personal Edition from www.lavasoftusa.com, install,
update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from
your system.
