Dotcomtoolbar Description:
Dotcomtoolbar is a program that hooks URLs,
sends them to a predetermined Web site, and then
redirects the URL to the correct location. The
Web site can log a user's IP address and visited
URLs.
File names: Redirect2.exe,
redirect4.exe, redirect5.exe
When Dotcomtoolbar runs, it does following:
- Adds the value:
"redirect"="<path to
executable file>"
on the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- If a user accesses a Web site, it hooks the
URL and changes it to:
www.dotcomtoolbar.com/redirect/url.asp?url=<URL
the user would like to visit>
Which allows www.dotcomtoolbar.com to log your
IP address and visiting URL.
