Malware from tribalfusion.com

I recently had a skirmish with some kind of malware/adware nonsense (in Windows 7). But it was not being detected or handled by Spybot, AdWare or Microsoft Security Essentials.

But along the way, I noticed a domain name, tribalfusion.com, arising in unwanted connections. After finding a lot of complaints on the net about these guys, I added *.tribalfusion.com to my Windows 7 Restricted Sites, then manually removed all references to it from the Registry. All problems disappeared, permanently.

Then I found this same garbage on other machines, and used the same procedure to correct it on each one. It would be interesting to hear how many of you can find "tribalfusion" in your respective Registries as well--it's serious bad news.

try malwarebytes and see if it finds anything else.
