      There’s info on the infamous lop.com along with removal instructions here:

      http://www.spywareinfo.com/lop.html

      and additional info here (but this page is not well organized-use your browser’s Find function and search for lop):

      You have been Lop’d! This site is known for really messing up people’s computers. The fix usually involves running AdAware and/or finding a couple of files on your hard drive and deleting them.

      Go to google.com and do a search on the following string:

      LOP.com -> hijacking your browser and desktop – be warned!

      This thread will tell you how to get rid of Lop.

      Enjoy,
