so my spyware battle continues... Interesting results inside..
 

it has come to my attention when typing in my sites url in google it gets taken elsewhere. Along with every top bucks site, hahaha site, tcg site, PG site etc. I am leaving the spyware on this pc mainly so i can find out whos behind it. But an interesting result came about when i typed in gofuckyourself on google, i clicked the top result which was www.gofuckyourself.com and i got this http://www.theaffiliateprogramguide.com/

anyone know who these guys are?

Sagi or AFF support could look up that ref code. Dunno if it will lead to whoever's spreading the stealware tho.

i just had to reload winblows last night. I had green link all over webpages that took me to all sorts of different sponsors.. trying to reload all my programs now

track the affiliate code.

im using spyware doctor real time protection to take care of shit like that

we need some industry bounty hunters lol.

nice catch duke

Check your host file.

c:WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/DRIVERS/ETC/HOSTS

I have seen issues of this were the host file is changed so when your webiste is requested hackers will either divert your traffic to a diffrent domain or to the correct domin but with there ref code.

I can't stand that spyware, browser hi-jack bullshit

Get smokey in here.

I had exactly the same spyware and it was a bitch to remove.

Are you sure it's safe to click on that non-gfy url you posted?? I dont want to click it and be fucked..

yea it looks legit. it looks lie a genuine add

duke

where do you get taken to ?

like when you do a tcg site for example

Yea i just had this shit on my computer and it pisses me off....I had to redo my OS and it was a fuckin hassle to back shit up....had to do it all manually...dont have a click button backer-upper....

Cock Suckers....and fuck Norton too....Stupid Fuckin Shit....

Ill throw down on this when the person is found as well

Duke, can you hit me up please - I'd love to know where they are being sent.

I think davethetruth recently had an issue where no matter what he typed in the address bar, the browser would not go.. it didnt go anywhere. Maybe he had it halfway blocked? Not sure, but thought maybe worth a mention.

what should the host file read?

duke

Duke, if you get the name of the spyware, please send that information to me or someone at topbucks for us to investigate as well.

Hosts file might be nonexistant. You dont *need* one at all, so if you have one and didnt add it yourself, post it's contents maybe and people can pck through it.

Try using the program called HijackThis - and paste the log into the thread.. Ill tell u what to remove..


Find it on Google..
