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

And after </html>

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.

strange! Do you know why these firewalls add the code? Is it some sort of security thing? I dont think mine does it but ill be checking now!

did you take a look at the script , i am more interested in what the script does

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.

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?
