    Description
    Httper is a pop-up opener and error-page hijacker implemented as an Internet Explorer Browser Helper Object. When enabled by its controlling server config.url404.com, Httper will redirect any web server error page to a sponsor's site.

    Try SpywareBlaster. It prevents scumware like that from ever getting into your computer in the first place.
