Yay, still all clean.

Which reminds me, I have to clean the parasites off my g/f's computer.

Probably not in practice......but then you need IE for all sorts of things so you should have it set up as a backup for when Opera fails anyway.

Spybot is more thorough than Poly's frontpage at detecting parasites.

lessons of the day
1) our front page's main function is NOT to detect parasites.
2) spybot doesnt offer any of the info our front page has

I still gots the Xupiter parasite, and I can't get rid of it... It drives me up the wall.

My problem is that I cant access my regedit file... firewall or something.

Your front page also says I have the Tinybar parasite, but none of the files that I was told to look for are on my computer. ?

Anyway, I like that feature... Thanks!

How many unique access to the detection javascript over that same period of time? That number above possibly includes people refreshing or returning to the page later. Still, thats up to 16% of people infected.

I got rid of Xupiter by reformatting my hard drive

I was so stupid to get the one . I could have prevented it, but wasn't paying attention.

Japher, have you tried downloading and running Spybot Search and Destroy? I was also bitten by the Xupiter parasite a while back, but Spybot got rid of it (without having to reformat my HD )
