Title: Spyware installed by links from google
Post by: webwalker on April 28, 2005, 12:42:42 am
I used lavasoft.de's AdAware to clean my system so a second run showed *nothing* bad.

Entered CE home page, clicked top link (D2 stuff). Got a google page of links.

re-ran AdAware, nothing turned up.

First link shows was for D2legit.com.  Clicked and went to top page of D2Legit.com
Re-ran AdAware, got two new items:
cookie @server.iad.liveperson.net
cookie @statcounter.com

Second link was IngameParadise.de  1 new item:
cookie @server.iad.liveperson.net

Third link was D2sale.com (I didn't allow the activeX stuff to run)
cookie @server.iad.liveperson.net

Fourth link was to FreeGiftWorld.com.  No new items from this site.

Fifth link was ebay.  3 new items
cookie@apmebf.com
cookie@qksrv.com
cookie@mediaplex.com

6th link was to d2items.com  1 new item
cookie@server.iad.liveperson.net

7th link was to DiabloQueen.com.  No new objects.

8th link was DeftD2.com.  No new objects.

9th link was PJItems.com.  1 new object:
cookie@server.iad.liveperson.net

10 link was BattleOn.com.  No new objects.

Cookies that AdAware objects to, I object to.  So there are a few sites I'll avoid clicking on in the future.
