Re: YANDEX cookie

I found out more. Now there is a cookie from narod.ru

narod.ru/

136062208
30492327

And I can tell the browser silently visited bs.yandex.ru and downloaded some
files. Mostly graphics and nothing special, small .GIF files mostly in
Russian. But there was also an .HTM file (v12[2].htm from narod.ru and the
contents aren't friendly at all. Nothing visible appears but there are
references to gallbio.com, biobondy.com, wstox.com and an ftp site at
209.66.124.221 which appears to be related to Plesk, Inc. and lo and behold
they sell antivirus software.

If this is old news I can find nothing posted about it and nothing seems to
detect it. If it's new more people are going to start reporting I would
guess.
