LOP.COM

I suddenly find that there is a site called lop.com which has invaded my IE browser. Keeps popping up and has made itself the default home page. Ubiquitious. Refuses to go away. Can't change my homepage because when I restart the browser, its back.

Anyone know how to get rid of this? I know there was a similiar post a wile back and someone had suggested a solution. Can't find the link.

Thanks for any help.

Check out this page:

There is a link to remove it at the bottom after an informative article.

I don't think it is a good idea ..coz they might remove something and put other things, on the other hand ...
I wouldn't trust going there again, they hijacked my browser and desktop, without my permission for crying out loud ...

Just let Ad-aware nuke that junk, and remove the remains manually ...

BTW, welcome to TehIMO
Regards
