Re: Hijacked homepage, NAV found spyware files not found in registry

we have seen references to that page on this list in the past. I just went
there and most of what they give about you is publicly available
information. It is available from the HTTP request headers, javascript and
other legitimate means. Here is what Symantec says about the worm listed on
that page
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sinnaka.a@xxxxxxxx
I WOULD NOT use either of the scanners listed on the page as they are both
known malware.
