I found the onflow culprit
System Mechanic
At least on my system.

What version of System Mechanic are you using?

My Recycle Bin is Messed Up!

Just upgraded to Version 3.5h
I don't know if the previous version was the culprit also as I just ran the new Ad-aware today.
I upgraded and ran Ad-aware again and had 12 new onflow references and ZA asked if I wanted to allow Onflow Stup Installer and Onflow Player to connect to the Internet, well.......NO!
The program appears to be working but when I reboot we will see. If it doesn't IOLO get's some mail.

I'm going to vote you up. I love the fact that you complain to the company about it. Most people don't, they just whine about it. The company might not listen, but after thousands of people are sending them email, they might open their ears more. Thanks!

Grrr, another onflow victim I certainly don't remember giving permission for that to be loaded on my machine. I particularly don't like the fact that it leeches through IE thus rendering ZA blind to it.:(

It looks like the onflow servers are going to find a happy home in my special host table.

Ok flippant, teach us. Onflow servers in special host table?
Is that security-restricted sites and the url entered? or something else. Might want to start a new post and lay out the details for us.
R2- not sure, I uninstalled and installed the new one to be sure.

Rxdoxx, I use a "special" host table to block ads. It is quite simple, yet ingenious. Any ad server you don't want to access goes in your host table with a 127.0.0.0 corresponding address. We all know that the host table is used before the DNS, so the ad-server is found in my host table and of course no files are served from 127.0.0.0. It leaves a bunch of placeholders on my web pages, but I have gotten used to that.
