What is tdmy.com?

Hi all,

For some time I've noticed my system hooked up to tdmy.com. I go
suspicious when I booted Acrobat6 and it went to tdmy first then to
adobe.com. I found this place to be a porno search engine. None of
the usual spy stuff removes it. I removed several dozen instances of
it from my registry and acrobat still hooks up to it. Google search
id's it as spyware but offers only a few solutions which in themselves
seem to be flaky.

Any suggestions?

George

Use Google search and you will find a lot of help including
http://www.onlinepcfix.com/spyware/Lop.htm:

"Lop masquerades as an mp3 search engine. It is capable of:

* Hijacking your starting page
* Adding the Lop Toolbar to Internet Explorer
* Adding the Lop Toolbar to Windows Explorer
* Causing frequent Windows Explorer & Internet Explorer crashes
* Popup advertisements (including pornographic ads)
* Adding Lop links to your Bookmarks (Favorites)
* Installing software on your PC without your consent
* Tracking your site visits and reporting them back to Lop (for
advertising purposes)
Once Lop takes over, your start page could become one of the
following:.... tdmy.com......"

Thanks zz. I saw and tried that one. It found the problem, but I'll
have to wait till payday to buy it so it will remove the files. I
have spent sooooo much money on these progs only to find there isn't
any one prog to handle all of the trojans.

There are two SpyBot vendors/applications on the market - one of them
doesn't remove anything unless you pay, the other one does a better job
and is free. I posted the link to the good/free one - it's never failed
me yet.
