Lop

Lop is a family of malicious browser hijackers that change Internet Explorer home and search pages, modify related search settings, install a toolbar and add numerous bookmarks to advertising sites to the web browser's Favorites list. Lop spywares also track user Internet activity, create advertising desktop shortcuts, install unsolicited and potentially harmful applications and pests. Some threats can show commercial pop-up advertisements and may affect computer stability. Typical Lop spywares are able to update themselves via the Internet. Threats automatically run on every Windows startup.
