--- Quote from: "gords" ---Have you got any of these search engine toolbars (Google, etc)? It might be something like that, that's doing it!?
Regarding NTL and alternatives, have you seen the ADSL Guide web site? Full of information and ratings from people who actually use the suppliers they rate.
Plus, there's plenty of people on here who can offer advice :)

--- Quote from: "robbie" ---not doing it for me either, wonder if it is that file you downloaded last week from the link on here....

No i had already sorted that one out soon after downloading it, been fine since. Its proberbly nothing but im looking for an update for my spyware removal programs. :D

--- Quote from: "thermidorthelobster" ---Well, it could feasibly be NTL I supposed, but I'm surprised they'd stoop so low, even if they are the most scummy, wretched company ever to grace the planet (although Air France have a good crack at it too).
It could be a browser hijacker that's just come out, so Spybot / Ad-Aware may not have cottoned on to it yet.
If it's NTL, then check your agreement with them, as they'd have to be pretty devious to get you to sign up to something like that.

It looks like a browser hyjaker, as the words that are highlighted when i click on them they are useing the same browser called "Zippy-lookup". A new one on me. Its just a search enginge by the looks of it, and ive checked it out and nothing seems wrong with it. :?

There are a couple of versions of HippyNotify... it is spyware
There are instructions about the place for removal.

:D Found where it came from, the other night i downloaded Real Player to listen to radio etc,, as part of the agreement ( in the small print ) it says certain pop ups browsers will appear from time to time on my p.c via there system. Thats why its not showing up when i run my spyware programs because the zippy look-up browser is part of the BBC Radio website. Its not a problem and wont affect anyone elses p.c, infact its not dammaged mine its just an inconveinience more than anything else.
