Lop is a family of malicious browser hijackers that change Internet Explorer home and search pages, modify related search settings, install a toolbar and add numerous bookmarks to advertising sites to the web browser’s Favorites list. Lop parasites also track user Internet activity, create advertising desktop shortcuts, install unsolicited and potentially harmful programs and pests. Some threats can display commercial pop-up advertisements and may affect system stability. Typical Lop parasites are able to update themselves via the Internet. Threats automatically run on every Windows startup.
there are many variants of LOP:
lop/Trinity: old variant, which adds shortcuts and hijacks homepage and search.
