Re: Xupiter

I have heard that when you uninstall the xupiter program that if you do 
not go into the system and physically delete the files from the system 
it will generate pop-ups one right after another. I have also heard 
that if you do not remove the registry keys it will also try to access 
the page as a keyword search engine even after it is uninstalled. I had 
gotten it on my system and when I removed it I would type in my address 
bar an address like this "msn.com" and try to access the page it would 
not let me access it and would put "////%20" in front of the address 
and would not open the page. 

There is a registry key (I think) that will let you specify a search 
engine in IE that if you type a keyword in the address bar it will 
default to that engine to find the content you are looking for. I only 
found it after I was attacked by xupiter.
