Thanks Clint. All I ever found out was this was a p*rn dialer. Adaware never caught it. Neither did Spybot until I downloaded and installed the newer version. Does it have to be a website, or can this stuff be placed on your computer remotely by someone pining IP addresses, or something, since I am on DSL?

Enter that at Google and you'll find thousands of pages on it. http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/library/dyfuca/index.phtml As to how it gets there, I'm sure the hits will explain that. But I've mentioned before that all it takes is **one** parasite website to do it. I believe you read all your email in plain text format, but switch to HTML if ever needed. It also only takes **one** HTML email from the wrong place to do it. It doesn't have to be PU banners or a*ds that do it, the malware code can be embedded and you never see it happening. SpyBot, SpywareGuard and SpywareBlaster can prevent many of these things. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Dougherty" <intrepid-video.com> Does anyone know how this stuff gets on here? I rarely surf any sites and Outlook is set to read all message in plain text. I don't open attachments. I had a customer's computer that had this on it as well as clearsearch.net and N-Case... I don't use Internet Explorer. Thank you. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
