'Insurance' code injection attack

Thanks.. Since my last post, I have identified a few more
facts on this case.

This code injection occurs in the client browser. The Web
server seems to be sending correct page. So far, I have
identified just one user machine that seems to be infected.

Even in the client machine, if we look at the html source
code, this injection code does not exist. If this is true
than I have no way of knowing how the page is getting
rendered on other client machines.

Seems like a BIG security Flaw in IE.

However, for this time, do you think Spybot S&D or
HackThis can take care of this?

Does anyone else have any more bright ideas on this one?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to clean a asp application from a
virus that converts labels with the word 'Insurance' into link button to a web page. It also injects text in the
textbox when the textbox.text has any reference to
this 'insurance' word.

I am using custom controls on custom page. This injection seems to be occurring after the pre-render event.
Download SpyBot S&D and perhaps even HackThis! as it

sounds more like youhave a spybot of some sort active.

This isn't as much a security flaw of IE as it is of platforms in general.
If the user can run arbitrary code with administrative permissions, then the
user can run a virus that modifies their system to do basically anything it
wants. Run a virus scanner and a spyware remover, and this should clean up
most things. If your users are in a corporate environment, then plan an
initiative to get everyone in your organization running as limited users who
are no allowed to run arbitrary code on the machine.

I've seen plenty of articles and utilities for preventing form injections for ASP.NET, but not too much for classic ASP. Are there any good input validation scripts that you use to avoid form injection attacks? I'm looking for good routines I can reuse on all of my form processing pages. Thanks.
