Please help me get rid of the annoying Lop.com redirection URL

[lankia]

I am not sure if any of you have come accross this problem before, but lately I notice that whenever my browser (IE 6) unsuccessfully loads any site, it would be redirected to http://www.lop.com/dnserror.cgi?s=http://www.sydneyu.edu/. I can't remember what I might have done to trigger that. Anyway, if any of you can help me fix this, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Yup same thing happened to me, I think it was because I said yes to one of those this website is going to do something to your comp do you want it to.

You need to edit the registry to fix it to have it go back to the miscrosoft search engine, I'll try to find the website that told me how to do it.

These sorts of exploits make me more and more browse with JavaScript, ActiveX and all other web scripting languages turned off..granted that this yields a pretty constrained browsing experience when visiting websites that make heavy use of these languages, I can at least be sure that my browser doesn't get all screwed up..Regards

Did a search of "lop.com" on my registry and didn't find anything suspicious.

Same thing happened to me, went to LOP.com searched around and found these files:

Uninstaller 1
Uninstaller 2

One of em should do the trick.

Mmmm.... some how it didn't solve my problem with those two uninstaller. I must been modified my registry and unable to take care the URL redirect uninstall. I will reinstall the LOP.COM plug again and uninstall from there.

Thanks for the link.
