I'm no hacker, but, yesterday my yahoo email would redirect me to this yield manager site repeatedly when I tried to read my email.

I found this on a Geek site:

O2 - BHO: Browser Address Error Redirector - {CA6319C0-31B7-401E-A518-A07C3DB8F777} - c:\windows\system32\BAE.dll

I went into my regedit and ripped the sucker out in 4 different places. It's gone, and I hope it doesn't leave another installer program behind.

No one knows about this little monster yet, and I wanted to tell Symantec about it, but, there's no email and the phone wait is at least 30 minutes, with no guarantee that someone there will listen.

The real cute part is, it sends you to a site where you can click on something that says "remove Yield Manager." Yeah. I'm not dumb enough to fall for that, but, god only knows what happens to you when you click on that.

Can someone get this to the Samantec gurus? And, can someone with a sacrificial hard drive try those "removal tools" to see what happens next?

BTW: Adaware and Spybot S&D didn't catch it, either.

Hi jazzjunkysue

Were you able to send a sample to Symantec? That always the best way to deal with these things. If you send a sample than Symantec  can write a removal tool.

isnt ad.yieldmanager.com a tracking cookie thing?

[jazzjunkysue]

I'm trying to send it to them but I can't find any email address for Symantec. That's what my message says. Where can I send it?

If you give me an address, I'm trying to send it.

Use this link to submit the file you have -

https://submit.symantec.com/websubmit/retail.cgi

Once submitted you'll get an email with a 'Tracking' number in the subject line. Post that tracking number into this forum.

Thanks

Thankyou! I'll send the message at the top of this thread.

I guess there's some kind of diagnostic file I could send but I already ripped the thing out, so that wouldn't help, now.
