I've seen several people with this user-agent string already.

Spyware is too easy to get on clueless users' Windows computers these days.

Yah.... spyware is everyware

everywhere*

Attention: Someone around here, who visited my localhost webserver a week ago (August 23) through a link I pasted in Op [vL], has this spyware.
Mysterious spyware-infected user: Your ISP is cox.net (I won't post the exact IP here, but it's in the 68.10.*.* range). If this is your ISP and range, it might be you - so run an anti-spyware program such as Spybot Search & Destroy as soon as possible!

ew, that matches me, but I ran Spybot S&D this morning (~4 hours ago) and it came up with nothing.

I started panicking when you said cox.net, and I read 68. and was like "Ohhh shit", but I'm .107.*.*

So am I safe?

Maybe, but you should check it anyway.  I'm presently 69.*, but my ISP used to issue me 24.* addresses.  The change just happened one day, and they never announced/explained it.  So, I'd suggest scanning even if you don't have the IP mask Yoni posted.

I did a fresh install of Windows 2000, and while I was doing windows update I decided to check out some websites. 10 minutes later I had 10-15 spyware programs installed on my computer. I've cleaned them all out, but my computer is still not working properly. Running ipconfig outputs nothing in the console now. It also looks like cmd.exe has been deleted. Has anyone else had this problem?

After Yoni telling me this, I started getting really paranoid. Neither Spybot S&D or Adaware picked up FWP, though they both have in the past. I'm still reluctant to use Firefox on a regular basis, so I installed Guard Bar about 3 spyware detection programs, updated to XP SP2, installed a software firewall, etc. I like to think I'm safe from all but that dragging and dropping of the scrollbar thing.

Is there another program that does?

They're both supposed to, and have in the past. Possibly I deleted it within the past 7 days, but I don't remember running any anti-spyware software within that time period.

Notice the user-agent: "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;..."
Only spoofs and IE identify themselves in this way.

You guys should go to www.ipchicken.com - it tells you your User-Agent.

Apparently I still have it installed. Which is odd since _nothing_ is showing I have it!
