The Spyware Saga Continues by Lizard_King 10/23/2004, 12:03am PDT
So I began using my new roommate's computer, and after a brief while realized it was shit full of spyware. I mean, full, like after 5 scans a total of 2900 or so objects removed with adaware. Naturally, things run a lot more smoothly, but there remains a popup that comes up every five minutes or so, attempting to take me to http://69.20.56.3/normal/yyy12.html or http://e.rn11.com/a/a174-admed-ron or some variation thereof. It used to be an ad for popupzilla and regcleaner (both presumably malware, since they advertise via browser hijack), but now is just a blank page. However, it is annoying as hell, and adding the ip to the shitty mcafee firewall he has seems to do nothing. Any ideas?
