SPYWARE: IST-Slotchbar
This signature detects the runtime behavior of spyware IST-Slotchbar. This spyware adds a toolbar to Internet Explorer and displays pop-up advertisements, some of which are porn related. When a user performs a search in the toolbar, it directs the search results to third party links. IST-Slotchbar also periodically connects to its controlling server to download self-updates, and to install other adware and spywares such as TargetSaver and InternetOptimizer.
