BEWARE LYCOS!

A few minutes browsing on Lycos last night meant that this morning I had about a zillion popups in the first minute or two I was online. Ran Ad-aware and SpyBot S&D. Between them, they found about 300 new spyware/adware files which had been dumped on our machine from Lycos. (Yes, many were even clearly labeled as coming from Lycos itself so they weren't snuck on there without Lycos knowing about it!)

Watch out for files labeled:

- Gloogle.Shing
- Bargain Buddy
- BookedSpace
- ClipGenie
- DownloadWare
- Ezula
- Lycos Sidesearch
- Network Essentials
- Virtumundo
- WebHance
- DyFuCa Internet Optimizer
- Media Loads
