About Lop
Lop is a family of programs that set your start page and IE's search features to use the site lop.com ('Live Online Portal') or one of its clone sites. Known lop sites include:
* aavc.com
...long list...

Remove this spyware using Spyware Doctor
Lop has many variants:
lop/Trinity: an old variant of the software, which only adds the shortcuts and does the homepage/search hijacking.
lop/Dialer is a plain porn dialler delivered with the startup task.
lop/Toolbar : includes the startup task and an IE toolbar with more lop links. This variant can be detected by the script at this site.
lop/Rnd : a version of lop/Toolbar that uses completely random class IDs as well as pseudo-random filenames, making it difficult to detect.
lop/AYB : a URL protocol module used by the MP3Search (or similar) minibrowser launched by the startup task. This variant can be detected by the script at this site; having it is usually a sign you may have lop/Toolbar or lop/Rnd as well.
lop/Loader : an installer process that opens a small progress window in the middle of the screen and loads and runs both lop/AYB and either lop/Toolbar or lop/Rnd.
lop/IMZ : an installer process like lop/Loader, but installing lop/Rnd and FavoriteMan/IMZ . lop/AYB is not installed, so the script at this script usually cannot detect lop/IMZ installations.
lop/Active : an update of lop/Rnd which monitors web pages viewed for keywords, and sets the buttons in the toolbar to match. This also opens a floating window on the desktop on startup. Can also hijack to active-max.com, mysearchnow.com, searchwebnow.com or find-quick.com as well as one of the traditional four-letter domains.
