nCase
nCase is a nasty variant of FavoriteMan. It's placed on the user's computer through a zendmedia browser hijack and is difficult to remove. Removal instructions can be found at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.ncase.html
There are probably other means of contracting nCase but to my knowledge and own personal experience, it was placed on my computer through zendmedia.
This nasty piece of work can gather information from Outlook Express mail accounts, Outlook user info, AOL Instant Messenger accounts, Windows location, RealPlayer location, Windows Fax headers, eFax.com headers, Acrobat user info, Netscape user info, MS Comic Chat registration, GameSpy registration, and NetFerret registration. It can also administer popups and can download unsigned code.
