SYMPTOMS:

This detection covers potentially malicious scripts written in Java, that may baypass some popup blockers. Even if such a program is installed, adverts/popups may appear.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:

This potentially malicious JavaScript attempts to bypass certain popup blockers (for example: Norton Internet Security popup blocker, Internet Explorer's popup blocker, Google Toolbar etc) in order to show popups. The script sets a cookie called PayPopUpAds which is used for tracking visited websites.

Removal instructions:

Please let BitDefender delete the infected files.
