Xupiter

Post by David Cobb »

Got a happy little suprise tonight. A program that hijacks your ISP home page and installs theirs. It's run by a pair of goons from Sherman Oaks, CA, Saeid and Danial Yomtobian, father and son team. Looking now at solutions and how to remove it. Do a Google search on Xupiter to read more. Very diabolical.

I got infected by that too. I downloaded a free spyware program that cleans Xupiter as well as lots of other hijack programs. The program can be downloaded from:

Thanks Karlis, I'll check it out. I'd like to put a Tomahawk down these boys' chimney.
