I couldn't find what Spybot classes SearchSettings.exe as,because if it is detected by Spybot,I'm not sure what it is called,so I couldn't find it in Spybot's list.
I did a quick search around through,and this is what I gathered:
I think it's related to something called Widgi Toolbar,or it may be called MyBrowserBar now,or Spigot Toolbar.Do you have any of these installed?

There's a blog post about it,here(for info only):

There are Uninstall instructions listed in the comments below,by somebody named Christi.

There's also info here(for info only):

Thanks for info. Will remove - found linkage to a yahoo toolbar (which I have never had) and other strange stuff. I follow a rule of if I do not know the reason for a port/window/program being active then I secure it. Thanks HRH
