    Believe it or not the makers of the LOP provide their own removal tool.

    http://lop.com/new_uninstall.exe

    I spent days running adaware, spybot, tweaking registry settings on my little sister's laptop (she had installed Messenger Plus), only to see the sucker come back every time I rebooted. I ran the unistall app above and LOP was totally gone from my system.

  2. Re:Lop.com by HansF · · Score: 1 · on Which Adware and Spyware are the Most Insidious?

    I've come across a lop infected computer. I took a look on their site and found a question in their Faq that discusses the uninstall. They have a uninstall tool, I ran that tool and the pc 'seemed' clean.
    I agree, it's Crapware with capital C, but the cleaning went smooth.

    According to their help page, this program will remove the toolbar. I don't know that I'd trust it though...

    I've used a computer 'infected' with lop.com. One of the worst things I've ever seen. I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it either, I had to eventually just format the thing and just start over.


    Tons of pop-ups, a lot of mis-redirection back to lop.com (like trying to go to google.com), and all kinds of "helper" lop.com applications. I'd love to know how to get rid of it if I ever run across it again.

    A week or so ago my roommate was using my computer, and this happened to him. A pop up came up to install some program that connected to www.lop.com (he was at an unrelated website)...he was not paying attention and clicked it, and it changed all kinds of things on my computer. In changed my desktop to an active desktop...keeping my same background...but adding an swf file to the background that would load whenever my desktop refreshed. It also changed my IE favorites, my 404 error message, my search prefs...along with a bunch of other stuff. I was able to fix everything but the 404 message. Instead of getting the default message, or even the Microsoft error (yes I use IE...and I will burn in hell for it) that lets you fix what you type...it takes me to www.lop.com. For example if I type: "http://www.asdflkj.com" I go to http://www.lop.com/dnserror.cgi?s=http://www.asdfl kj.com/ I cannot figure out how to fix this. Could someone please tell me how to get rid of the setting. I have tried looking for lop in the registry, uninstalling with the add remove programs, I have even banned www.lop.com from messing with my computer with my firewall. This has killed their adds...but it still goes to their page when I type an internet addy incorrectly.

    and 2 warnings to everyone.
    1)Never let a roommate use your computer. 2)Never install any program that says www.lop.com on it.

    Thank you
