It isn't malware.
launchSidebar('sidebar.tripod.com', 'fungames');
Opens sidebar.tripod.com in the search assistant
function launchSidebar(sbserver, kw) {
var random_num = Math.round((Math.random()*999999));
document.cookie = "sidebarurl=" + window.location + "; path=/; domain=.tripod.com";
if(GetCookie("sbo") == 1)
{
var adImg=d.createElement('IMG'); adImg.src="/adm/img/common/ot_existingpane.gif?rand="
+ random_num;
return;
}
LOL, you can disable by creating the appropriate cookie.
if(GetCookie("nosidebar") == 1)
{
var adImg=d.createElement('IMG'); adImg.src="/adm/img/common/ot_brokenpane.gif?rand="
+ random_num;
return;
}
// change < 100 to control dialdown
It only opens sometimes...
if((kw != '') && (kw != '(none)') && (Math.random() * 100) < 100)
{
Check for IE browser
if((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) && (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSN")
== -1) && (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("AOL") == -1) && (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mac")
== -1) && (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera") == -1) && (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("NetCaptor")
== -1) && (!window.sidebar))
{
open('http://' + sbserver + '/bin/sidebar.cgi?site=' + window.location
+ "&kwcookie=" + kw, '_search'); <-- The command
var adImg=d.createElement('IMG'); adImg.src="/adm/img/common/ot_opensidepane.gif?rand="
+ random_num;
return;
}
}
var adImg=d.createElement('IMG'); adImg.src="/adm/img/common/ot_nosidepane.gif?rand="
+ random_num;
return;
}
