Re: SpywareInfo.com, bad news......

I still had the original domain bookmarked, yet following it all I got was a small pink dash (as in the bone eDexter uses when it finds a site in the hosts file).

While the original name is not in my hosts file, searchportal.information.com is, with a note beside the entry reading "[Panda.Spyware:Cookie/Searchportal]".

Time to take out the trash, so to speak.
