I got infected with sp.dll today. I think I picked it up searching at astalavista.com. I opened sp.dll with the notepad and found the following regedit: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer] "SearchURL"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Default_Search_URL"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" "Search Page"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" "Search Bar"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search] "SearchAssistant"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search] "SearchAssistant"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" [HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer] "SearchURL"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" [HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Search Page"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" "Default_Search_URL"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" "Search Bar"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" [HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search] "SearchAssistant"="http://www.jethomepage.com/ie/" I deleted them all and of course the sp.dll file. In msconfig sp.dll is mentioned in autostart, I unhooked this as well. No trouble since then, one more reason for using netscape I guess.
