I just ran a Yahoo search (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=hil...kt1&fl=0&x=wrt) and was very surprised at what I saw on the top fold of the page.
Instead of the traditional Yahoo banner their is now a frame containing the actual web site of a featured advertiser! Talk about a way to get your PPC ad noticed.

Crud!
It looks like this is actually spyware. The bad news is that I can't find it with Adaware or Spybot.
This one is NASTY - it may take a while to find this. It's not an easy fix like my HOSTS file.

Re: WOW! Did you see THIS?
Yeah that is not yahoo as far as I know, looks like an IGN type add, I would check your browser helper objects and see if there is anything there you dont recognize.
Starting LEC 7 soon but it won't be called LEC 7 - LEC 2012 coming soon!

Re: WOW! Did you see THIS?
I was able to find out what was happening by right-clicking on an image in the top left corner of this spyware frame. I saw that the image was from secureservicepack.com, then was able to find out where there dll was hidden.

Re: WOW! Did you see THIS?
yea, advertisers always call me and ask me if I want to purchase this. It's a software thing so try add remove programs. that should take it off.
