Hello

I have found more information regarding my original 030.com post.

The machine that is infected is running Windows XP Professional with all service packs and hotfixes.

Additionally, it is running Norton Antivirus 2003 with the latest database, and the machine checks clean.

There is a file running on boot:

C:\WINDOWS\WinStart.exe (the date of this file is November 11, 2002)

The file properties indicate that it originates from IGetNet, LLC. The whois information shows that this is the owner of ignkeywords.com

Also, this file exists: C:\WINDOWS\prefetch\WINSTART.EXE-2C11637C.pf.

It's date and time reflect the last time the machine was booted. Please note that I am not sure what this file is, but it seems to relate.

The machine now seems to go to ignkeywords.com, however sometimes it goes to 030.com, which is what we originally observed.

The WinStart file is labelled as a "Browser Upgrade" in the file properties thingy.

Thanks and Best
