In response to belgiandip.com;
I've been researching this subject for the past several hours at different sites
and noone has mentioned the file "thinstaller.exe which appears to be the first part
of the attack. One response I read (maybe here) mentions that ZoneAlarm stops it
from connecting and in our case, yes it did ask for permission. Nortons did not react
(Antivirus or Internet Security) as this is not a virus in the true sense of the
word I guess. If you have ZoneAlarm and use it to check certain entries in its log,
you'll come to a page where they will scan your com with Pest Control and tell you
what spyware and adware is running - tracking cookies etc. Unfortunately on my main
con, this page will not display correctly -probably something to do with certain
settings I have re: activeX controls. Wish I knew more, but I thought I would add
what I found to existing threads re: thinstaller as nowhere else did I find an entry
concerning this aspect.
