The Ghost Java Script!!

[Txarán]

There is couple of JS which I havent write and they appear on the source of my index page at : http://www.dunia.fi/daniel/
I wonder where it comes from and who ad it there? It goes like that:


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

//-->
</script>

and at the end of the source page AFTER /HTML
again an other one similar:


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var SymRealOnLoad;
var SymRealOnUnload;

function SymOnUnload()
{
window.open = SymWinOpen;
if(SymRealOnUnload != null)
SymRealOnUnload();
}

function SymOnLoad()
{
if(SymRealOnLoad != null)
SymRealOnLoad();
window.open = SymRealWinOpen;
SymRealOnUnload = window.onunload;
window.onunload = SymOnUnload;
}

SymRealOnLoad = window.onload;
window.onload = SymOnLoad;

//-->
</script>

WHERE THE HELL IS COMING FROM AND WHAT DOES IT DO??????

Did you remove it? If you still see it, maybe it's a browser hijack

Symantec firewall software... looks like it's being a bit over-zealous here! ;o)

Try doing a lookup on Google for any of the key terms in the javascript, you'll see that it's been reported widely on many forums worldwide. There seems to be an ongoing debate as to where the onus lies as to the firewall configuration.

Norton Anti Virus users experiencing these weird 'script interventions' obviously believe that Symantec should take responsibility, whereas the manufacturers claim the responsiibility for configuration lies squarely with the user.

I'm sitting on the fence on this one... I like my Zone Alarm Pro! ;o)

Well I guess like paulhiles says my

I can't beleive this, but if nobody see it then I guess its ok.
Thanks for your replies.
