bnick007 Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 My girlfriend was on a website and downloaded a little mp3 search program. Well as it turns out like i suspected it was spyware. I found on lavasofts website on how to remove it but there links are not working anymore. The spyware is lop.com if any one could help so i can get this off my machine i would love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

h71y6 Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 1) Go to http://lop.com/help.html and download the uninstaller at the bottom (easy way). 2) You have to remove two files, desktop.swf and desktop.html. Go into safe mode and rename them. Then reboot. The run adaware again and see if you can delete them. Also, go to "regedit" and find anything that has word "lop" in it by using the Edit->Find. Then remove them. Reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malechai Veteran Posted March 26, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 26, 2002 excellent advice h71y6. I want to add (just in case :)) that be sure what you're deleting in the registry is related to this lop thing and not something else. thats all! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
