    I just installed Comodo firewall plus on this xp machine
    the comodo scanner found
    ApplicUnsf.Win32AdInstaller in TempInt Files
    which is interesting as I had cleared them earlier this AM
    this name does NOT google for me
    I'm gonging to run another Spybot scan tomorrow after update

    Try google of Win32/AdInstaller alone or combined with comodo. I find nothing relating to the first portion.

    This may not track perfectly, but the name does look like a compound version without the forward slash.

    I knew I'd heard of this one
    Google finds:
    ASK toolbar
    Virtumond
    other nefarious combinations

    interesting that it was in temp
    most of the posters were in restore
    I'll get back to that computer after I do my taxes

    I ran a spybot scan with yesterdays updates while working on taxes- nothing found this computer was a minor mess when I got it in- mostly from Norton popups saying that anti-virus was not installed- completely unusable for the end user
    I'm not to concerned about ask toolbar leftovers but am going to track down the topic of this thread- any ideas?
