What is
N-Case?
Ncase is a Comparison Alternative Shopping
Engine developed by 180Solutions. It appears to be installed via an
ActiveX drive-by download or bundled with several file sharing programs
and a few others. It will cause pop-up advertisements, can add shortcut
items to the Startup or Desktop, and update itself.
There
are a couple variants of Ncase, the normal one as well as at least one
installed by an Active X drive-by download.
