    You are infected with Lop aka C2Media, adware.lop

     

    Lop is an advertising program that uses odd names like "listdart.exe" or "tons date 4.exe" or "Meow dupe.exe", it injects code into internet explorer, shows popup ads (often for non-legitimate products/programs), uses a number of ways to automatically reinstall, aggressively fights removal, and automatically updates.

     

     

    Download nolop

     

    save anything you are working on and prepare for a possible reboot

    run nolop.exe

    click the button "search and destroy"

    when it's done it will prompt you to reboot if you are infected.

    click the "reboot" button.

     

    Post the log which is saved to c:\nolop.log and another hijackthis log.
