Daily pop-up from X-10 cameras

[Rloyd]

Every morning when I first open IE, a popup appears from x-
10. Regardless of where I set my home page, this happens
once and only once a day. Is there some registry entry or
something else causing this? (I have already ran SpyBot
and it didn't help). Thanks!

Hi,
You could use the opt-out cookie from x-10 http://www.x10.com/x10ads.htm
I've used it- it works for 30 days. Or you could use a HOSTS file
The Hosts File (Gorilla Design Studio):
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/
Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File:

Or... would you be willing to download HijackThis from
http://www.net-integration.net/tools/hijackthis.html (read the instructions)
and post a log to the Parasites - Adware, Spyware & Other Scumware
forum at http://forum.mvps.org/ I'd like to have others look at the log and
find the origin of the x-10 ads.
