My mistake. On further examination this is not a virus at all but a
false alarm on the behalf of numerous vendors including NOD32, McAfee,
Kaspersky to name but a few. Obviously the uninstaller contains
strings also contained by the malware it is intended to remove.

McAfee flags it as Adware so I would trongly suggest NOT using the LOP un-installer. You
really can't trust all non-viral malware writers to create un-installers. It is best to use
anti malware tools.

I keep that file on a Utility CD I use when cleaning up other people's
computers. Every time I put the CD in a computer with McAfee in it, it
detects it. But from my experience, it really *is* the fastest way to get
rid of lop.
Incidentally, I had to go to one of my old beater computers to download
it. Lop.com is blocked on my two main ones.
