Alright, I’m pissed and puzzled. [http://www.unipages.cc/search.cgi](http://www.unipages.cc/search.cgi)? has hijacked my computer. Ad-Aware and Spybot aren’t seeing it. What is happening is when I enter in a search in Yahoo!, I get a pop-up window with the search terms, even with Pop-Up stopper. Attempts to search for the problem only pointed me to the page. Anyone else had this obnoxious bit of wossname, and have any ideas for getting and keeping it off of my computer? (I’m running Zonealarm. It doesn’t appear to be helping.)

[Here’s](http://tinyurl.com/kt9g) a newsgroup discussion about this piece of crapware, and some suggested solutions. Looks like AdAware and Spybot haven’t been updated to deal with it yet.
