wierd icons and adds appearing

[blueluvr]

I had this on the laptop a while back, mongrel thing.

In my case I used spybot search and destroy to get rid of it. It did take a couple of reboots and rescans to remove it though, but it did it.

It infesteded itself in all my browsers, and it would highlight certain words. It also did what your pic shows, with the survey crap. It would just change the address you have in yours to whatever web site I happened to be on at the time.

My young bloke is into a program called pivot animator and it appeared right after he got some add ons for it. mongrels.
