Juts got word that our bro's over at Neowin.net have thrown up their Spyware removal guide!
It's a great guide on how to remove spyware, and protect yourself against it in the future. The guide offers some top-tips, and goes into how to be pro-active - i.e. securing Internet Explorer such that it is useable but "insulated" against all those nasty people.
This article is more of a preventive measure than a fix and will harden internet explorers security but at the same time retaining the functionality that IE has.
First in tools, internet options, advanced uncheck "Enable Install On Demand (Internet Explorer)" and "Enable Install On Demand (Other)" and "Enable Third-Party Browser Extensions (Requires Restart)" and choose apply and ok. Also ensure your internet security setting is at least medium (unless you know what you are doing and have made it custom).
