And remember kids...run Lavasoft's Ad-Aware and run it often!!


Also, don't forget to update its reference file since it works like an antivirus program is continuously updated. This program, Lavasoft's RefUpdate, will automatically update Ad-Aware (when running RefUpdate, select the second server in the drop-down list (lsfileserv.com) since the first server seems to be temporarily unavailable).

Thank you VERY MUCH Zhukov!

I had seen these things before, and gave them short-shrift. But I have been noticing
pop-ups when only CSim is up. I know Douglas doesn't subscribe to this crap, so I
went and checked that article. Amazing stuff. Went to ad-aware, ran it and found
64 processes cooking on my server! This includes gator, which is the bane of my
existance at work! We disabled all our users ability to change their screen savers
due to this nasty little bugger. How I got all this garbage I may never know. But it's
dead now!!!

HOLY CRAP!!! 64 eh???


And remember to update that reference file periodically since these bastages are always adding new nefarious bits of poison code.

Found the Alexa thingmie on mine too LZ. Finally was able to get the update. Always timed out on me when I tried. Guess we must be going to the same porn site huh?
