Unfortunately, the ones I have been having to deal with end up getting in under the radar.
The one I dealt with earlier in the week (twaintec) hooked itself on to windows update somehow, so the next windows update installed twaintec as a browser helper object (BHO).
On a friends computer, I have spend well over 12 hours total cleaning up spyware/adware messes and every single one that I had to deal with were installed clandestinely (no matter how many of the spyware developers claim that you have to say yes to the download).
:grrr:
