I was just infected with this $^*@)! malware upgrading Java 7. It came aboard w/o invitation, needless to say. I always check Programs etc via my Control panel after every install to ensure nothing's slipped in besides my wanted program. To my shock not just browsemark but 3 other nasties made it past my virus/malware program (and don't think Norton won't hear about this huge screw-up by their premier 360, either!)

I'm in Cleveland, OH, but if this nasty's found it's way into computers past security of 3 types (Norton, McAfee & Windows Malware) you can bet it's in many corporate sites, too since Java upgrades automatically & most probably don't keep track of these little programs.

I wanted to thank you for your 'where is it' info - after 'uninstalling' browsemark (which took over an HOUR using Windows uninstaller, I searched the Registry & found quite a few leftovers from browsemark I was now able to identify/remove.

Gracias, amigos!
