NCase

NCase (your capitalisation may vary — nCASE, n-CASE, etc.) is popup-opening adware from 180Solutions.

NCase consists of a main process EXE, run on Windows startup through a registry Run entry, spawning ads dependent on browser usage, and a helper DLL used by the process. There’s also a data file containing the list of keywords and URLs that the NCase adware will target, and a log of actions taken by the NCase software.

Later variants of NCase are aware of the FlashTrack parasite and will disable it if it is running, to stop it showing competing adverts.

n-Case is an adware parasite created by www.180solutions.com that transmits logs of every URL you visit to a host site in order to facilitate targetted marketing campaigns. It consists of a process, msbb.exe, that runs constantly with Windows and shows advertising. nCase is aware of the FlashTrack parasite and will disable it if it is running, to stop it showing competing advertisments. Installed by ActiveX drive-by downloads in advertisments inserted on some free web hosting services, and bundled with other programs installed by ActiveX. Newer versions of the software also seem to try to read an e-mail address, real name and ZIP code to associate with the unique identifier, from applications' data in the registry.
