{QUOTE-> Lop.com has become one of the most infamous of all browser hijackers. All over the internet, from message boards to newsgroups to IRC chat rooms I've seen people begging for help in getting rid of this filthy little piece of scumware.
What is lop.com? Lop.com is first of all a web site owned by C2 Media. It is mainly a pay-per-click search portal where other web sites pay for each click-through to their site via lop. This isn't a terrible idea, but C2 Media got greedy. Rather than create a quality web site to get surfers to their site and clicking those links, they instead created what is essentially a trojan horse virus masquerading as an mp3 search program which forcibly hijacks web surfers to lop.com. <-QUOTE}
