DeskAdTop, anyone heard of this nasty spyware? I use firefox but somehow got though. Luckily Outpost process control prevented run.dll from running. However, checking startup through msconfig, this spyware was able to add registry values. Unfortunately, I do not have the files with me, I deleted them immediately after Outpost warned me.
