This somehow wormed its way onto my system a month or so ago. It took me at least four hours of trying different remedies, spyware removers, and registry mucking-around to get it off, and it still rendered IE6's "auto search" (i.e., type a phrase into the address bar and get a Google search results page) unusable and unfixable. That's when I switched my default browser to Opera, and I've never looked back.
