Live Online Portal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from C2.LOP)

Live Online Portal (LOP) is malware that is installed on Microsoft Windows.[1]

Lop.com is a web site owned by C2Media LTD. It is a pay-per-click search portal where other websites will pay for each click to their sites via LOP. A method they used to get people to their site was to install a browser hijacker component on people's computers which would advertise their site through pop-ups. The installer could turn the user's web browser into a device with different links to lop.com.[2]

Older variants of LOP were quite predictable[editorializing] and installed Browser Helper Objects and startup entries with known names. Some later LOP variants used a string of pseudo-random words as their executable names[3] and have been placing these executables in the user's application data directory. For example, there are LOP variants which call their file "meal dog house bone.exe".[citation needed]
