Revision 58910084 of "Xupiter" on enwiki

'''Xupiter''' is a now-defunct Internet company known for its [[Internet Explorer]] toolbar, also called Xupiter. The toolbar was listed as a browser hijacker by [[spyware]]-removing programs.

On June 09 2006, Xupiter creator Daniel Yomtobian issued a cease and desist order in response to a chronicle of his business career posted on Webdefenders.net.

Years ago Xupiter did not have the toolbar, simply visiting Xupiter.com was enough to have your browser hijacked. The people behind the Xupiter site make it so the novice will not be able to un-do the Xupiter changes. I was able to restore my system but I am "gun shy" about visiting the site again.
