Xupiter Angers Users

Wired is running a story on a program called Xupiter, which is apparently hijacking some users' browsers:
Xupiter is an Internet Explorer toolbar program. Once active in a system, it periodically changes users' designated homepages to xupiter.com, redirects all searches to Xupiter's site, and blocks any attempts to restore the original browser settings.
The program attempts to download updates each time an affected computer boots up, and has been blamed for causing system crashes. Several versions of Xupiter also appear to download other programs, such as gambling games, which later appear in pop-up windows.
Read on here.

I know about them. They got all over my schools computers, and I somehow got blamed for the scheme. I cleared it up, of course. They make me furious. They're a waste of bandwidth. I wanna find whoever made that program and... and... well, yeah....
I don't like them.
BTW, there's an article somewhere on Komando.com on how to take it off.
