self-added javascript

[paul_it]

I installed some programs in my computer (realplayer included) and the next time I rebooted my machine, I got some sort of system message, which was in fact an IE pop-up, with the following message:

Tribalfusion "your computer may be infected with harmful spyware" or something like that.

Then, I checked the source of some websites and I found the following tag just before </head>

<script language='javascript' src='http://127.0.0.1:1025/js.cgi?pca&r=27506'></script>

It's curious, 'cos I have no daemon listening to port 1025...

I deleted all my cookies, and no spyware detector found that tribalfusion malwhere...

Any idea? Is there any connection in between both things?

Cheers,

Paul

Hi there.
Real Player does call home which is why it is often not recommended.

However someone should take a look at the system to see if there is a reason you received a popup about Tribalfusion.

Please go here and follow instructions.

Someone will then take a look and advise you.
