How can I prevent constant Smart Engine attacks and pop-ups
I've been receiving deceptive pop-ups from Smart Engine stating that my computer is infected and that Smart Engine will remove the viruses art a cost. The pop-ups continue after I decline service. How can these pop-ups be blocked?

See "Spyware on Windows": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popups_not_blocked and What to do when searches take you to the wrong search website
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
