well it seems to be a spyware, try this, go to housecall.trendmicro.com and scan your system, if it is a spyware, it will be found....

1. Download the tool from the link below:

Extract all the contents of the tool on your desktop.

3. Select 1 and hit Enter to create a report of the infected files. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt
4. Reboot your computer in Safe Mode (before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually)
5. Double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
6. Select 2 and hit Enter to delete infect files.
7. You will be prompted: Do you want to clean the registry ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry
keys associated with the infection.
8. The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found): Replace infected file ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter to restore a clean file.

NORMAL SPYWARE REMOVERS DO NOT WORK ON VIRUSBURSTERS - you need a special utility to remove it.
Virusbursters is a royal pain in the butt...I followed this link and it gives a program to remove it and instructions on how to run the program...no other spyware removers would touch this thing. I fought with it for 4 days to get it off my computer until I found this link.

Scroll down the page, there are some headers at the top you have to get past to see the virusbursters information. It is a forum page, but you don't have to register to view it.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

yes, it's definately spyware. it can change your web browser settings and show comercial adds, at least it's not keylogger. if your scanners doesn't pick up virusbuster you can buy a new one, or you can delete this spyware using removal instructions at http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-virusbursters.html
there's a list of malicious files that need to be deleted, so you can simply take a look at the list and erase the files by yourself.
