I believe that I have some sort of spyware on my machine but I can’t figure out how
to get rid of it. When I am surfing the net every so often instead of going to the
page that I have chosen, I get a page that has an advertisement on it. At the top
right of the screen it says skip ad. I click on the skip ad and it takes me to where
I want to go. Normally I would say that this is just the website, but it has happened
on 6 different websites and the look of the ad and the URL is always the same. Here
is a sample of one of URLs I have seen:
http://dns.sysip.net/services/nslookup/tad/app=PS&v=1.2.8&site=I.ETHOS.LIVE&size=tad&rnd=8591571

I did a search on dns.sysip.net and I came up with nothing. I searched and searched
for just sysip and I can’t find anything. The scary thing about this is it seems
to be saving all of my pages that I have been to. If I look at my internet history
it has a folder for dns.sysip and when I hover over some of the pages it lists the
pages I have been to even if I didn’t get the advertisement page.
It isn’t a popup, it’s just a web page redirect that I get sent to before I can get
to the page I requested. If I wait a few seconds it automatically redirects me.
I have run spybot, adaware, Microsoft defender, yahoo spyware and Ewido anti malware.
They all say I am clean. I have installed and running Norton which runs every night
and has no virus history. I have all MS updates installed on my 2K box.
Any ideas?
