LOP is still around, as we all know.
Hehe... LOP is what got me here in the first place! Always had a soft spot for em....
As a matter of fact, either I'm just getting "lucky" or there is a noticeable increase in cases of LOP recently.
It's gotta be because of summer break from school and all the Messenger Plus installs there undoubtedly are.

Only in slightly different way.
I was helping on a Dutch forum (mainly browser problems) where I admired the work of two guys that had all the answers.
One of them unfortunately died much too young and the other is known all over the web (except for that Dutch forum) as TonyKlein.
When I encountered the first random-named hijacker (LOP), I followed Tony's trail to this place called SWI to learn about HijackThis.
I learned heaps from the Experts at that forum and almost fell of my chair when they invited me into their midst. There I admired the work of two ladies that could make an answer if there wasn't one available.
That is why C2Media will always have a special place in my crosshairs.

Remember all the 4 letter domains? The one that eventually got me here was tjar. I'll never forget it.
