pop-ups hijacking web browser

[protobob]

FYI,

Since yesterday (Sept 24th) I've seen one of your pop-ups (not sure which one) hijacking my web browser's homepage and trying to put some kind of ad-aware or trojan on my PC.

Virus software (CA's Inoculan) also detects what it calls JScript/IEstart.Trojan, the file is being put in (on my win2k box):

c:\documents and settings\myusername\temporary internet files\content.ie5\4h2lchsv\object[1].HTA

Usually I have a pop-up blocker going but I just recently reinstalled the OS and havn't got around to it yet.

Yeah, I've already gotten an email on this as well and have complained to our host about it. He said he's working on the problem.

Are you still using Internet Exploit with active eXploit virus tech ?

Pray and download.

Definitly a decent browser, but I have to say that Avant is better. It runs off IE, but works like Opera (window-in style) and has a great built-in pop up blocker, and all sorts of really, really good extras and options.
