In case you haven’t noticed, you’ve gotten an answer to your query over at the TomCoyote forum.
Indeed I have-thanks.
Mr Svin care to enlighten us about the “file in your Mozilla folder with Notepad, type in a piece of code that disables the IDN feature, and save it under the name “user.js.””
Well, I followed the instructions from Tom Coyote, but the my new HijackThis log looks exactly the same and I’m still getting pop ups. This SUCKS.
Oooh, what I wouldn’t GIVE to have whoever’s responsible for this shit in my room right now. I’ll avoid further details, as death threats are forbidden here-and I assume graphic descriptions of slow, painful, torture are as well?
Will you sell tickets, then?
Tickets hell, I’ll make it a public free for all, so everyone can join in.!
Come now, one must have some scruples.
I suggest nailing them to a wall and charging five dollars for customers to pour molten AOL CDs down their throat.

And if they complain, they will be reminded that they should be grateful because it’s a free trial!
Better yet, how about molten AOL CD enemas?
Or yet another solution if you want to hang on to IE is to use the gogoData toolbar. Check it out. Its quite good. Haven’t had to download anything else since I got it.
No, so far I really like Firefox. The ONLY thing I miss is the little toolbar that would pop up when I moused over a picture. Other than that, no-tabbed browsing is nice, especially for saving different pictures-often IE would never load the whole thing, since I’m on dial-up, unless I left that page open, and didn’t do anything else while it was loading. Not so with Firefox, it seems.
You want the Image Toolbar extension, I think. [Here](https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox
&version=1.0&id=243) it is.
It usually takes several rounds. Just keep posting your new log. You probably don’t have just one hijacker but several.

Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to your question.
I use Mozilla suite. If you want to immunize the Mozilla to the IDN spoof and you don’t want to download 1.7.6, you need to deactivate the IDN feature. This is most easily done by either creating a user.js file, if you don’t already have one, or modifying the existing file, if you do.
Mozilla 1.7.5, the current “vanilla” version one downloads from the Mozilla homepage, doesn’t generate a user.js file itself, so if you haven’t created one you’ll need to. It should be placed in the same directory as the pref.js file (which it modifies). On my computer, with XP, I’m using the default profile so the path to that directory is:
Documents and Settings\Mr. Svinlesha\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\420xenpc.slt
This path will vary somewhat from computer to computer, of course. Regardless, you should find a pref.js icon in that folder, and once you’ve found that icon, you’ve come to the right place.
If there is no user.js file (or document, or whatever it’s called) in that folder, create one using Notepad. (I tried Wordpad first but it didn’t work). Insert the following line:
user_pref(“network.enableIDN”, false);
Save the notepad file in that folder under the name user.js.
Close and reopen your browser.
E voila! If you’ve done everything right, you should be spoofproof. Retake the test at Secunia to make sure.
I’ve been given to understand that the process is very similar for Firefox. Can try to find out exactly if you like.
Guin:
Sorry about directing you to that old version of HijackThis. My bad. Also I just want to second Zebra’s advice. It usually takes a few rounds to get rid of everything, and folks usually have a lot more stuff hiding in their computer than they realize.
Ah, so I just keep doing what I was told, and eventually it’ll leave?
I’m also thinking that it’s the hpwis or whatever, too-anyone got any info on that?
Guin:
If you Google hpwis you get a bunch of contacts to the HP invent hompage. HP is “Hewlett Packard” I guess?
You have a file on C:
C:\HP\KBD\KBD.EXE
Do you know what that is?
Absolutely no idea.
Oh GOD, if you follow my link at Tom Coyote, I deleted two windows essential files thinking they were the spyware ones. FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUUCKKKK!!!
