*PROBLEM* Belgiandip.com popup that launches intermittently when Explorer is started
or shut down. * SOLUTION* There were four files in Windows\ and Windows\System32
related to belgiandip.com. Close each file in Task Manager then deleted the file.
It worked! *SAVE TIME* Target files clearly authored by Totempole and 64 kb in size.
There are 2 new files. HUNT FILES USING START, THEN SEARCH FOR- pup.exe b821557k.exe
et1n.exe and etplwizn.exe REGEDIT. I lack extensive computer skills. However, I
tried to hunt it down using the regedit utility instructions posted here. I could
not find any file in there other than Explorer.exe. Also, deactivating scripting
only seems to work if you plan on visiting that website again. I don't know how
I got this virus, but I don't ever plan on visiting belgiandip.com. *ACTION* Everyone
reading this has wasted their time. I hope you all will continue complaining to the
main-stream companies advertising in those pop-ups and contact your local govt officials
(Attorney General's, FTC, and reps to Congress and State Legislature). Belgiandip.com
should be closed down immediately. I have heard of a successful lawsuit against a
spammer that sent unwanted faxes. This is the same deal. Belgiandip.com is stealing
our time and our machines. Its illegal.
