    Dear Fellow DP'ers,

    I work up today, and started my machine and found when I opened a browser it went to adsenseheaven com. I've never heard of this site, and quickly figured something is wrong, I even thought it was me, since I saw no affiliate information in the URL.

    After a quick scan of Ad-Aware, I found I was infected with trojan downloader: win32.trojan.Zlob and three records of a trojan: win32.trojan.Agent

    It seems very, very strange that an AdSense site, that sells keywords would be in a Trojan, seemed to nichey, and targeted to me. In fact, I think out of most sites I've had time to visit over the last few days was DP, and links in the posts. So I would like to suggest everyone do a quick scan. Please post any new information.

    BTW, anyone know anything about AdsenseHeaven?

    tom

    P.S. for convience, Ad-Aware can be found at http://www.lavasoftusa.com

    I've found that rebooting in safe mode and running the trial version of ewido antispyware/virus gets rid of most everything, hi-jack this works good too.
