<<The Xupiter toolbar can be hard to escape

Thousands of people have been caught out by a sneaky Internet Explorer
toolbar that hijacks their web browser. The Xupiter toolbar changes a
browser's home page, redirects searches to pre-selected sites, and
automatically opens a back door into a computer to let in ads and games.

The toolbar takes advantage of low security settings to automatically install
itself and many people do not know they have downloaded it until it is too
late. >>
