Download MS anti-spyware beta :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a2-6a57-4c57-a8bd-dbf62eda9671&displaylang=en and read the FAQ -
http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

The new MS beta for Antispyware has an "Advanced Tools" menu item that allows you to identify the maker and use of items on the
Windows startup list. It's called "System Explorer" There is also a Very nice "Browser Hijack" feature

www.eu-soft.net is Europe Union Software Networks.

http://www.eu-soft.net/

They have these...

Privacy toolbar - IE plugin that allows you to erase cookies, clear
temporary internet files, clear adress bar, etc. with one click.

Cool Player 2.15 - Blaze fast mp3 media player

Cool DVD Ripper - application that allows you to make backup copies of your
DVDs

Galactica game - destroy aliens in deep space

If they are not spyware programs, they probably install spyware.
