Hi

I am unable to stop web-pages poping on my computer. The pages in question
are probably launched by some kind of pest that I am unable to identify. The
pages are e.g: http://cshacks.41m.com/content/goclick.php.
I am running XP SP2 and Trend Micro Internet Security.

From time to time TMIS detects some pests in my Temporary Internet Files. I
am unable to find them and delete them(?)

I am also unable to delete "altnet" from my register even in safemode.

Any suggestion?

You need a progam specifically designed for spyware detection and
removal. A couple of free ones are Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware
SE. Both are downloadable from the net.

Did you look at the source code for that link?

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<!-- GOCLICK.COM POP-UNDER CODE V1 -->
<script language="Javascript"> <!--
var dd=document; dd.cookie='ct=1; path=/';
if ((dd.cookie.length > 0 && (dd.cookie.indexOf('ush=1') <= 0))) {
dd.write('<scri'+'pt language="javascript" '+
'src="http://earth.goclick.com/pad2.mod?V=1&AID=66691&'+
'SEARCH=lyrics"></scri'+'pt>');
dd.cookie='push=1; path=/'; }
// --></script>
<!-- END OF POP-UNDER CODE -->
</body>
</html>

With JavaScript turned off, there is no popup, only a blank browser.
With JavaScript ON, you will get a popup(under) window.

Notice the earth.goclick.com link. Go there. Here is the entire
source of that page:

self.focus(); window.open(
'http://venus.goclick.com/aff2.mod?'+
'V=&JM=1&'+
'AID=2215&TP=100&SEARCH=gifts',
'gcpu', 'titlebar=1,toolbar=1,location=1,menubar=1,'+
'scrollbars=1,resizable=1,channelmode=0,directories=0,status=1');
self.focus(); setTimeout ("self.focus()",1000*1);


There is no "pest" here... only the badly-authored unscrupulous web
sites you are choosing to visit.

Doesn't matter which version of the OS.

Time for you to consider a modern browser?

Realize you don't have a virus. You have Spyware. You need to remove it.
Ad-aware 6.0 works for most Spyware programs and it's free. If it turns out
to be MSIE hijacker you may need to do some more work. JB
