Hi,
Google only returned a few hits on "numbclan." Those posts, like yours,
indicated that password logging seemed to be occurring.
Try this... go to http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=4075 Work through
the
preliminary cleaning steps, then post a HijackThis log to he forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 It will be interesting to see what
HijackThis finds.
Hope this helps,
Don
