INetSpeak Websearch Spyware/Adware Definition


Name: INetSpeak Websearch
Category: Adware
Alias: JaypeeSysBHO, BHO42602, Jaypee Systems, boombar, eBoom, atomwire
Advice: Remove
Risk: Elevated Risk Elevated threats are usually threats that fall into the range of adware in which data about a user's habits are tracked and sent back to a server for analysis without your consent or knowledge.
Description: InetSpeak is a browser helper object implementation that adds non removeable advertising to your Internet Explorer browser.

There are a large number of variants and it is not unusual to see two or more variants running on the same machine.

BHO42602 was included in Music Magnet, a free file-sharing program which appears to be a copy of Gnucleus. Installs just before the setup program is run.

The WindowsIE variant is known to have been distributed under the name 'Free Morpheus Upgrade Suite' as well as being bundled with later versions of Music Magnet and other software by the same authors.

The eBoom variant is an ActiveX drive-by-download on pages purporting to offer services like free e-mail and phone calls.

Other variants are typically installed under the guise of "accelerators" or "spyware removers" for the file-sharing software Kazaa.

Advertising and link content is fetched from the controlling servers (eg. musicmagnet.com, eboom.com) when a new page is loaded, and displayed on newly-opened IE windows.

Type: Adware - Adware is generally software that displays advertisements. Some advertisers may covertly install adware on your system and generate a stream of unsolicited advertisements that can clutter your desktop and affect your productivity. The advertisements may also contain pornographic or other material that you might find inappropriate. The extra processing required to track you or to display advertisements can tax your computer and hurt your system performance.
