This is a real threat and I have now seen almost a dozen computers infected wih it. It pops up browser windows every few minutes when you are using a browser and displays fake warnings about virus infection and offers scanning tools.
A browser window opens in almost every case where an HTTP 404 - File not found error is returned in a Google Toobar window with the statement Oops! This link appears broken. The site displayed is always:
hxxp://sameshitasiteverwas.com/traf/tds/default.cgi
Although it is getting caught with Symantec Antivirus when it executes, t is not being detected by the traditional spyware detection and removal tools and I have not been able to find any solid inormation on what is causing it or what the remedy might be.
Has anyone had this experience and do they know of a solution for removing this obnoxious little bugger?
Thanks. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
