Well, I searched for "Beach Wallpapers" on google and downloaded a wallpaper installer. I didn't notice it warned me of stuff included. I got so many nasties that I had to reformat my computer. There were so many programs running in the background that my typing was choppy. It was pretty frusterating, because I had just finished reformatting 2 HOURS AGO!!

Search for Beach Wallpapers on Google. I'd link you to the site directly, but I don't wanna get that stuff again...

:( I'm afriad I can't find it now. I'll do another search using Linux, but all the sites look the same. I don't know if I can find it again.

Here is an idea for getting more spyware and adware. There are a lot of rogue spyware removal programs that install spyware onto your computer. I have had this problem before and here is a site that I like that shows who's who. http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#products . I hope this helps.

If you have not done so install WildTangent

Have you all solved your computer problems?

If not please post a fresh log in here and i will tell you what you have been infected with and what to remove and do to solve ALL your problems

I am not sure if there is a Hyjackthis log specialist here? but there is now .

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

uh... the point is Alc is looking to get spyware so he can analyse the effectiveness of different programs etc...
I'm sure Alc doesn't need any help with his Hijackthis log...

A while ago I did this too for experimental purposes.

If you want some ideas, ive PM'd you the link of how I got on.

Just the ot her day I was looking for free downloadable games to play and needless to say I found several and installed them only to find they had spyware/addware included in the exe. The first game is called industryplayer and the other is Wik and the Fable of Souls.

Also if you look for websites for cheat codes for some of the more popular games using http://www.cheatgenius.co.uk/cheatsingame/XBOX_16395_Halo_2_cheats.html as your base address.

Thanks for the heads up-- I'll give that a try. Do you need the actual games installed in order to install the cheats?

You will need to install the games with the exe from wherever you may have downloaded them. The games and the cheats have no corralation with one another.The site for game cheats works with an active-x component that is associated with a popup. By clicking on any of the links on this site you should be able to get BlazeFind (4 objects) and WindUpdates (3 objects).

I did some more investigating on the original game cheat web site and this site is far worse; spyware, adware, and popup adds galore. http://www.captaincode.com/searchall.asp?s=all&q=Halo%202 and if you go to any of the sites at the bottom of this page mentioned above you should be able to get all kinds of crap.

I think both Morpheus (not the paid version) and Kazaa have adware with them. Kazaa is supposed to have a secret (but everyone seems to know about it) program that works like Seti@home and Folding@home to combine spare cycles - they were going to sell the cpu time; I don't know if they kept that in or not.

alc any luck with the spyware yet!

I dont know if its been said already but KAZZA! and other music things seem to be pretty bad i have an email i use to registar stuff i could send you all the scratch and win junk and other nasties

I downloaded a NO CD crack for FootballManager 05 with BearShare... it came with a really nasty thing called Backdoor.Colfusion

I can't get rid of it!! :mad:

Good luck anyway...
