TNS-Search

My solution:
Do not use IExplorer version<7! Better: uninstall it completely!
Use Firefox, Flock or Opera instead (with webpage-threat advisors as belarcAdvisor, Sitehound, wot and McAfeeSiteAdvisor)
Don't forget NoScript! And hosts related software to protect zonemapping
Use Spybot Searcha&Destroy!



Company:
Product: TNS-Search
Threat: Hijacker
Description
This hijacker creates a false security warning when opening IE asking the user to download the latest virus definitions. In consequence, it will install an IE toolbar, redirect the IE start page and creates a lot of icons on the desktop.
