Zelda Classic installs hyjack brower

http://zeldaclassic.armageddongames.net/thirdparty.shtml zc190.zip

installs two program a data tracker showbehind.exe and a hyjack browser to change your search engine page.

I usually do a scan with AdWare after downloading software. I downloaded Zelda Classic at 4:52 Sept and did the scan a few minutes later. It found a program called showbehind.exe. I believe AdAware disabled it function but I also went in and deleted the folder for the program.

This is the results.

Hi Mint Chip,

You did the right thing. Showbehind is a known baddie.
