Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

Will do..

I found this after an extensive google search...

http://forums.devshed.com/showthread.php?t=281039 where the guy has exactly the same issue as me (no solution though and nobody knows whats causing it) he's done the whole HiJackthis and spy sweep / registry check too with no solution to be found. He calls it a php lander - ring any bells?

Im boggled to say the least.

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

That works, but i still get the search page - looking like something is on my PC. Damn this is weird.

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

bizarre....

having read that thread, i can't see what having a network bridge would have to do with anything though!!!

falling back to the old favourite here- have you tried a system restore to before the problem started?

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

Nope - I - ahem - switched System restore off.

I have no idea when it started anyway to be honest. The thing is i can see this is related to landing.domainsponsor.com somehow. But everything i look for on that has not been resolved by anyone.

Why the heck does it
A) Happen in all browsers
B) Go undetected by Spyware or Virus checkers
C) Happen in safe mode
D) Not show up in the host file
E) Occur despite the DNS server you use?

Im stumped!

Sorry for being thick but I spotted this in the log and wondered what it does :dunce:

D:\Program Files\MrPostman\wrapper\wrapper.exe

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

No probs,
Its a program which sits on your machine as a proxy between your POP3 Client and Hotmail so that you can download your Hotmail into a Mail client like Mozilla Thunderbird.

Quite good actually and i've used it for ages.

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

i wonder if it affects apple macs :Sprint:

tell you what, i'll see if i can get this pc infected with the same thing, just cos it'll annoy me until i find the solution otherwise!

can you send me a copy of your firefox config file?

also, do you remember doing anything in particular when the problem started??

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

Thanks for the support, but its not specific to firefox - it happens in IE too so it wont be something in the config file.

And to be honest - i rebuilt XP last week so unless it sneaked on between SP1 and SP2 going in im not sure how its happened. Saying that i have installed loads recently obviously so it could be pretty much anything.

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

Just to clarify- do you get the trafficclub page instead of all error pages or just some?

ie 403/404/500 etc

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

I noticed also

D:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\bin\jusched.exe
D:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\bin\java.exe

I don't see any processes running that require java, so just a shot in the dark,
kill the processes and disable java.I have java disabled by default as I'm a
paranoid freak. :D

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

As far as i can see its only for mistyped URL's so it only pops up if i type www.cbleforum.co.uk etc instead of the correct URL.

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

Java isnt loaded in Safe mode...

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

[thinks out loud]
hmm... that tends to suggest something happening at the lookup stage....

edit: what happens if you set a search engine as the default? eg, setting yahoo search as default when installing messenger- that kind of thing. If you have yahoo/ msn search then it will default to this when you mistype an address. Did it do this before? or can you try installing one to see if it does now? That normally wouldn't affect firefox though....

grr.

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

If I type "trafficclub.com" into google I loads of pages of these

Your browser does not support frames

The bottom line is different with every result but you get the idea, don't know how on earth this will help but hey, you never know !! :erm:

Re: TrafficClub.com instead of 404 Page
 

I dont have any of that - Google is my search page... Messenger isnt installed.

Although that gives me a thought (cluting @ straws) - Messenger - hmmm.... I did install Messenger previously and put on the APatch to remove ads etc... I wonder if i accidentally installed the sponsor... (Cant see it though) :shrug:
