Message	What it does is keeps track of which pages u visit, and what search engines you use, what things u search. Usually it changes your homepage to lop.com. It also changes your seaches to go through lop.com. It claims that it is provding surfers with discounts for products they search for. But the only pop-ups that advertise discounts are for gambling, pr0n, or mp3's. The problem aside from the obvious, is that it can add dialers (doesn't affect me) which make it appear to the user that they lost their connection, and pops up a new dialer, which isn't to your regular isp. It also can update from the server it connects to and write new code on your machine. A format would solve my problem, but I really want to learn how to fix it, so if it happens in the future, format won't be my only option.
