Spyware

[Darlene]

http://lop.com/passthrough/newpass2.html is in the
properties of a stubborn search toolbar that pops up at
the bottom of my desktop and will not go away unless you
shutdown, but comes up again when you access the
internet. It has links for: Make Money, Investing,
Music, Travel, Casino, Mortgage and searches for Dating,
Credit, Travel, Computers, Careers, Insurance. I have
used Microsoft and McAfee Antispyware, went into safe
mode, deleted Flashtrack key/values from the registry,
but it will not go away and the Spyware constantly says
that Flashtrack is trying to load. I have probably spent
about 24 hours trying to get rid of these 2 problems in
the past week, please help???!!

Hello Darlene,

LOP provides an uninstaller tool.

Here is the link - proceed at your own risk.
(I have used it with success, but I offer no guarantees!)

*** For assistance in battling infestations***
- Get HijackThis.exe from:

- Open it and select "Scan and Save Log"
- Note where you saved the log
- Send it to Ron Kinner as an attachment

- Put Hijack in the subject so he knows it's not spam
He will tell you what to do next


Good luck

The dreaded LOP. Best way to get rid of it is head to LOPS
page and download their removal tool. All the main Spyware
programs that I have used is unable to get rid of this.

Several virus scanners will pick up the removal tool as a
trojan. The tool is clean though. So you may want to
disable the scanners before attempting the download.

I know, it make as much since to ask a snake for its
antidote. But the removal tool does a good job.
