I was paranoid!
After all that cleaning my computer from spyware I realized the following codes were showing up constantly (everywhere I go) when I viewed a page source. Just before </head> ends HTML <script language='javascript' src='http://127.0.0.1:****/js.cgi?pca&r=*****'></script> And after </html> HTML <script language='javascript'>postamble();</script> WHAT DA HECK IS IT?? It looks like some java script was calling from within my computer and *'s were changing constantly with each time I refreshed a webpage for a source code. After few hours of searching, I found a possible answer. It seems like if you have firewall programs such as Zone Alarm Security or Check Point Integrity (which I have) these programs insert the above codes automatically for every web page you view. I turned off my firewall, refreshed a webpage and viewed the source code again and this time it did not show. We can all relex now, whew~ I thought something was still present in my computer. Just sharing this information if you ever wondered about these codes. |

No such script exists in my computer or does anything. I believe, by the looks of the code, that it references a site/code and stores it to my firewall's log.

I turned off my firewall, refreshed a webpage and viewed the source code again and this time it did not show. Yeah, that was the problem when i had Zone Alarm Pro Firewall. Like you, i didn't know it was the firewall, cause i had never seen it before. But later found it was the firewall. It would get annoying when trying to check if my pages were 100% XHTML valid, through Opera, and find out i always had one thing to take care of, and it was what the firewall injected into all pages. I got rid of Zone Alarm. |

It sounds to me as if Zone Alarm doesn't know what they are doing. They certainly aren't catering to the web developers in that aspect. I wonder why they would need to add that peice of javascrip to the end of the web pages?
